A new website for young people
www.livealing.co.uk - has been completely designed, produced and launched by young people in Ealing and gives information on a whole range of topics from living independently and money management through to what's going on in your area.
It's the place to go if you're young, live in Ealing, and want useful advice. Plus it's a great way to get in touch with other young people in your local area.
The site gives you tips on how to stay safe and where to get help from if you need it. It will also tell you about some exciting ways you can get involved in making your local community safer, for example, by becoming a Volunteer Police Cadet, through a local Kickz project, or through YOU London (Youth Organisations in Uniform).
