Section 1 - setting the scene

Every child's future matters

We are fortunate in Devon to have a fantastic natural environment. Devon County Council has led a campaign to make sure that Devon is England’s greenest county, and there is a growing sense of responsibility for ensuring
this. The future of our environment is particularly important for children and young people and caring for it needs to be part of all our lives. Our chievements and our enjoyment of life are (for good or ill) bound up with our environment, with our homes, our streets, the air that we breathe and our landscapes.

Making sure that our work supports a sustainable future will thread through the work of the Children’s Trust. During the first year of the CYPP we will develop ways, in line with the LAA, to address the areas which most affect children and young people.
