About: TNT members are the voice of young people in Torbay, helping to develop and promote the rights and opportunities of young people. They address the lack of facilities and opportunities in the area by running youth consultations and working with the local council to provide more places and activities to match young people’s needs. Workshops and events are also developed by and for the young people, and they have trained Children’s Services Managers.

“TNT is not just a place to go after school, but much more. We run our project, we put forward our own ideas and we decide which pieces of work we do and how we should do it.”
