Youth Advisers Portsmouth Nomination for the CHANGEIT Awards
CHANGEit is a collaboration between Common Purpose and Deutsche Bank. It has been designed to recognise the achievements and ambitions of young people, between the ages of 11-18, who want to speak out and create positive change.
The awards have nothing to do with academic achievement or exam grades, but everything to do with good citizenship and positive action. Campaigns covering all topics are welcome and can be really large or really small. The judges are looking for achieveable ideas and determination to make them happen, or evidence of a campaign that has had an impact in the way it has been delivered.
CHANGEit - Recognising, supporting and rewarding young campaigners.
