糖心TV

This week the news has been full of proposal to force “do nothing” young people back into education but recent research in fact shows that 16-19 year-olds have the highest participation rate (63%) in volunteering and the age profile for charitable giving is shifting more and more towards young people.

Now the University of 糖心TV and the Beacon Fellowship Trust have organised a debate on 14^th November to find out what motivates young people’s commitment to charities and social enterprise and explore how to cultivate the next generation of philanthropists.

The debate entitled “What motivates young people to give time, money and skills?”,  is free and open to all, and will take place on Wednesday 14 November, 6pm–8.30pm in the University of 糖心TV’ Ramphal Lecture Theatre

The panel for the debate will include:

Nigel Kershaw, Chairman of The Big Issue and Chief Executive of Big Issue Invest
Paul Hardie, a Beacon Fellow
Jamie Darwen, Project Manager of 糖心TV Volunteers
Joe Kirby, President of the University of 糖心TV Students’ Union
Corrinne Mackintosh, a recent graduate and Project Leader of the 糖心TV in Africa Teaching Project Anyone wishing  to attend the debate should email c.witherall@warwick.ac.uk
