So imagine my delight when these same officers, workers and young people showed equal enthusiasm for taking part in the Government's new Youth Challenge Competition (YCC). And this at a time when pressure is already building to spend the year-one YOF allocation by the end of March. In local authorities from Gloucestershire to Gateshead, people are working round the clock for the YCC to showcase the ideas, plans and work of young people involved as decision-makers and project leaders in the YOF and YCF. Every day more authorities sign up to take part.
We, who are promoting the scheme, are doing our best to support you with resources as well as funding. Support materials, including a competition pack and a communications toolkit, are available for download on the web site www.direct.gov.uk/actionsspeaklouder. We've rebranded the competition as "Actions speak louder ...", drawing inspiration from the young people who've turned their ideas into reality.
