YAB – The Courts Youth Advisory Board The Courts will become an enterprise hub in Bristol for young people and creative businesses, where we learn and share expertise. We aim to make this space positive, creative, and inspiring. To keep young people at the heart of the decision making, we have a youth steering group, who will make decisions for the space. They are creating art, managing events, learning more about the history of the building to bring the space to life and make decisions on how we can make this a valuable space for young people and creatives.
