They are made up of 22 young people from primary, secondary and special schools in the city.

Each young person will spend a month shadowing Lord Mayor, Councillor Roz Gladden, at suitable events such as Remembrance Sunday, Civic Service, Freedom of the City celebrations through pensioners’ parties  and school assemblies.

It is the seventh time the scheme has been run, and all of the candidates had to give a speech explaining how they would promote the positive profile of the city of Liverpool and that of children and young people in the city

Lord Mayor, Councillor Roz Gladden, said: “This is a great opportunity for our young people to become involved in civic events, find out what is happening in their city and see how democracy works.”

“I am delighted that so many of our young people have shown an interest in civic life and will be more than happy to have them assisting me at events during my next few months as Lord Mayor.

“I am sure they will do a great job representing the young people of Liverpool over the coming year.”

All 22 will be sworn in at a special ceremony at the Town Hall on Wednesday 2 November in a special ceremony starting at 1:30pm.
