Community events
There is also evidence of the community recognising the positive roles played by young people.
We surveyed 718 adult guests who attended community events organised and delivered by our
youth action volunteers;
• 73% said they met people at the event who they had not met before
• 63% described the event as ‘brilliant’ (31% as ‘good’)
We also ask 285 adult guests to score their sense of community belonging before and after the
event. 52% showed an improvement of community belonging after the event.
‘Enclosed is a small contribution to your
planting which I so much appreciate,
not only for improving the look of the
neighbourhood but for also engaging young
volunteers in a community project and to
interest them in greening, Fitzrovia Youth in
Action indeed! Your effort is truly valued’
Local Resident, Community Planting Day
‘I felt that I had to briefly say how very much
I enjoyed this afternoon’s dinner. It was
heart-warming to see all those young people
working so well and giving of their time to
make a totally splendid afternoon out for so
many of us. I am immensely grateful so thank
you very much once again.’
