Your 2025/26 North East Young Greens Co-Chairs! Our Co-Chairs’ goals this year are to make the regional Young Greens more active.

We have co-option spots available on our committee - please reach out to know more. Our email is [email protected]

Also, join us! join.greenparty.org.uk

A photo of our two co-chairs on Millenium Bridge in Gateshead. Melissa on the left, Darius on the right. Below this, it says "Melissa Harker & Darius Seago: North East Young Greens Co-Chairs"

A statement from Melissa: I can't wait to get started as a Co-Chair of the North East Young Greens! It's upsetting to see that the regional Young Greens has been inactive by in large for the last couple years, so I hope to use the limited time that I have within the Young Greens to really kick the regional Young Greens into life, and try and get young people in the region excited to be part of the committee next year. I am hoping to use some of the experience I have in my local party of Gateshead and nationally with committees in the senior party to help in this endeavour. Melissa signs off her statement, and she uses she/they pronouns.

A statement from Darius: I'm very happy to have been re-elected for another term. As some of you may know, I'm very keen to be involved with all your Young Green local election campaigns; and this will continue into my second term. Best part of my first term was getting the North East Young Greens active again and the election of two brilliant Young Green councillors. Darius signs off his statement. He uses he/they pronouns.

🌱💪 When Rachel Reeves came to South Jesmond, she told people voting Green risked “getting a Reform councillor in here.”

The result? Reform weren’t even close. But the Greens won. 🚀

89% of the world's people want to see governments around the world take more action on the climate crisis.

We're the majority. The climate denial of the Tories and Reform is the minority.

So, starting this Earth Day, let's speak up and show governments we want climate action NOW.
