#I will is a national campaign that was lunched in 2013 aims to make social action part of life for as many 10 to 20 year-olds as possible by the year 2020. A key goal of the #iwill campaign is to enable organisations to understand and recognise high quality in youth social action..The prime mister, David Cameron has backed the movement and he had this to say “This campaign is above party politics – it’s about believing in our young people and backing them to do the right thing. We want more young people to have the opportunity to serve others and reap the benefits that this brings." the campaign is made to make a positive change in young people’s lives by impacting their local communities such as after school clubs and etc.



The people involved in the campaign are Dame Julia cleverdon is a British charity worker who served for 16 years as Chief Executive of Business in the Community, one of the Prince's Charities of Charles and Amanda Jordan is a founder of Corporate Citizenship.

Matthew Otubu 19 years old is one of the few young people trying to make an impact in his local city Newcastle his social journey is really wide and very impressive for some one of his age. he has been a Youth Councillor for Newcastle City Council, a Member of Youth Parliament for Newcastle Central, Head Event Organiser at the European Youth Parliament UK and part of the Youth Leadership Team at Citizens UK. I’ve campaigned on education and transport, giving a keynote speech at the House of Commons in 2013, and supporting Make Your Mark. He’s also a big campaigner on healthcare issues, and his been part of the Northern Clinical Senate Assembly for NHS England, and the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. I also support charities as Youth Commissioner and Graduate Ambassador for the National Citizen Service, and Children’s Champion for UNICEF UK.

The campaign has had a huge in impact all over the country because there is so many leaders based all over uk and in many local areas and the hard work to put in is showing by the PM and other political leaders taking notice. One a few impacts the campaign has had is bullying as 17 year old Callie Turner on a TV documentary "bullied" with Jordie Marsh on channel 5 and the show went to talk about how she was bullied and how she got over it and they went on to create and anti-bullying team in the school Callie attended.

My opinion on what the #iwill campaign is that I feel its a amazing campaign because anyone can get involved and it really focuses on the young people and this is good because it make life easier for the next generation on people and they don't have to face the same problems and they campaign has a lot financial backing do resources are there if needed.
