2. National Trust/ Feb 2012 About The Challenge The Challenge Network is a charity with a mission Why we exist Over the last 50 years, the amount that we trust each other has declined rapidly. The UK now has the lowest levels of trust and belonging in Europe. This collapse in trust damages our young the most. UNICEF found that young people in the UK have lower confidence , weaker relationships and less civic engagement than in all other developed countries.** Children need a nurturing, trusting environment to develop as young adults. Without this, our young are struggling to mature into adults. The Challenge Network believes we can rebuild trust in our society by helping young people to come of age. Our mission is to inspire and connect Young People to strengthen their communities.

7. National Trust/ Feb 2012 Experiences of first year delivery Initial Feedback from Young people Faysal Hamzah. Rochdale, North West England. I didn’t really know what to expect of The Challenge at first. A leaflet came through our door and the outdoor stuff on it caught my attention. The best bit has been the whole thing, it has all been my favourite but maybe meeting new people has been the best, like Danni here (he is sat next to Danielle Scothern) because we didn’t know each other before but have got really close. Doing the Dragon’s Den was difficult, I have never done anything like that before and was pretty nervous. I think we have shown that teenagers aren’t all bad but that we can do positive things too.
