The Spark and Junction49 have joined forces to support young people to develop their own community projects. This new initiative is run by TimeBank, the charity behind Junction49, and funded by v and T-Mobile. It aims to bring together groups of young people and enable them to develop a project of their choice to tackle an issue that matters to them. By posting their ideas on Junction49 all Spark volunteers can receive advice and support from other volunteers and Junction49ers.
For more information please contact Kelly Lewington on k.lewington@timebank.org.uk.
