The University of Suffolk are working alongside the Ipswich Opportunity Area to measure young people’s participation in social action.

Youth social action is young people taking practical action to help others. To create positive social change that is of benefit to the wider community as well as themselves.

By identifying whether young people are engaging in social action, and how many are participating, the Ipswich Opportunity Area will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of current interventions in engaging young people and identify areas of need for social action programmes across Ipswich.

We would like to encourage young people to take the time to fill in this short anonymous survey and have a chance to win a £20 online voucher as a result of taking part:
