Gloucestershire Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) discovered that there was a general lack of awareness amongst young people about their employment rights. They decided to produce an employment card outlining important employment rights and providing details where young people could obtain advice find out more information. The card has been endorsed by Gloucestershire County Council Human Resources and is circulated throughout the county and within the Southwest UKYP network.

Following incidents of anti social behaviour young people and local residents decided to create somewhere for young people to go. Young people and other members of the community applied for funding and the Burysed Community Youth project has been established. The centre now has a formal Board of Trustees and is ran by volunteers from the local community.
