Community Newswire-NEW CHARITY AIMS TO REVOLUTIONISE YOUTH VOLUNTEERING

Community Newswire: "A major new charity dedicated to revolutionising youth volunteering was today being launched at a glitzy ceremony in London's Leicester Square.

The good cause, which is called 'V', has been created to inspire and engage one million new young volunteers aged between 16 and 25-years-old and is being officially launched by Chancellor Gordon Brown.

V was established following a recommendation from the Russell Commission which was set up by the then Home Secretary, David Blunkett, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, to develop a new national framework for youth action and engagement."
