We have made some great links with new local partners to link young people with opportunities to volunteer in their community.
The Southampton Hub, an organisation that ordinarily supports students to volunteer in placements in the local community, is running an Active Social Media campaign this month. It involves a week long challenge campaign on social media beginning on 27th April.
The idea is that young people can take part in a series of physical challenges and post them on their social media accounts. Each day a volunteer is needed to present a challenge via video or text and Southampton Hub is inviting young people to submit their suggestions to be in with a chance of being featured.
Example challenges include 'do 20 starjumps'; 'do 5 push ups'; throw a ball up and clap as many times as you can'; 'throw a paper ball into a bin from as far away as you can'.
You can get as creative as you like! if you would like to be involved with the campaign you will need to send in one of the following options by Friday 19th April:
Either:
- a motivational quote, a video of you outlining and doing the challenge with a written transcript
or
- a motivational quote, a photo of you and text outlining the challenge which can be made into a graphic
For more information on how you can submit your suggestion, please visit the Southampton Hub website here.
