Celia Barlow MP said: "Seen and Heard is a great way to recognise young people who are working across the country in their local communities to bring issues that matter to the attention of their peers and wider society. 

It would be good to see nominations from Hove & Portslade as I know from talking to local young people that there is a lot of positive work going on to increase awareness of vitally important matters which affect us all."
