Our youth campaign whatsyourv? is challenging the myth that “I have nothing to offer” and encouraging young people to use their passions and interests for community benefit.

Through magazines, online banners, radio ads and gigs, we are meeting young people where they’re at, raising awareness of vinspired and highlighting the benefits of volunteering.

These whatsyourv? magazine adverts ran selectively in late August, and went large from September 2007, appearing in Kerrang, Max Power, FHM, Empire, More, NME, Heat, Glamour and The Big Issue.

v has recently launched the v challenge, calling on MPs in England to volunteer alongside young people in their local constituencies. Over 20 MPs have signed up to this initiative which aims to promote the positive contribution that young people are making to their communities through volunteering.
