V launches inquiry to get young people's ideas for the big society

1 min read Youth Work
The chief executive of volunteering charity V Terry Ryall has launched an inquiry into what young people believe the big society should mean for them.

Speaking at a conference on the big society today (1 December), Ryall said V would be looking to include thousands of young people in the inquiry through digital and community spaces.

"We believe that young people are society’s most powerful assets," she said. "No big society is complete without them. Through our innovative digital platform, we'll be engaging thousands of young people in the debate, generating ideas and solutions for some of society's most serious problems."

Stressing the importance of action, Ryall said the charity would avoid setting up another "big society talking shop" and instead would be enabling young people to turn ideas into reality.
