Tesco last week announced it was the latest company to ally itself with youth volunteering charity v in getting more young people involved in their communities (YPN, 28 March-3 April, p2).

The 1m government match-funded Tesco Young Volunteers project will be managed by Community Service Volunteers (CSV), which will get it off the ground in the next few weeks with the recruitment of young people as community 'catalysts'.
