Molly, employee volunteer:

'Working with young people on an issue they felt passionate about really tested my communication skills; I hope that they learned as much from me as I did from them''

Christine Lim, Citizenship Subject Leader, Chatham Grammar school:

'Whilst developing a deeper understanding of social issues, the students developed some real practical skills: planning, event organisation, money management. The emphasis on experiencing, doing and reflection has been very empowering for the students'
