We recognise what we have to do and plan to step up and be heard.\u201d<br \/>\nThe group have set up accounts on Twitter (@Rsfutures) and Facebook (Futures of Riverside) in the hope of gaining support.<br \/>\nMr Abdi said: \u201cThey are a bunch of lads who wish to do good in their neighbourhood. They have met with their local councillor Caro Wild on numerous occasions and he is supportive and happy to meet them again following the consultation.<br \/>\n\u201cThen they can discuss the outcomes of what young people want and how they can work together to address the issues raised.<br \/>\n\u201cAfter Wednesday\u2019s consultation we will have a better idea of the interests, issues and governance of the group.\u201d<br \/>\nChildren and young adults in the community are welcome to attend the meeting on Wednesday afternoon where there will be free food and drink for those who attend.<br \/>\nCouncillor Caro Wild said: \u201cIt is wonderful that young people are getting involved in helping the community to solve their issues. There are a select few young people who have set up this group and I am immensely proud of them.<br \/>\n\u201cOf course, Ali Abdi has managed to gather loads of people together for this meeting at the Riverside Warehouse.
