young parents from all communities in Bradford will be welcome. We will alternate the sessions

run training courses & workshops & also give help and advice on getting back into education
and employment. Our goal for the year will be to achieve more funding as a group and run a
family fun day, which the group will organised and run as a team.

Summary
A healthy cafe drop-in for young people to socialise and take part in safe leisure time. We want
to add a peer education element to the drop-in as young people react more positively to ideas
and suggestions from fellow young people. In this case, for example, what type of healthy
smoothie to try. Also we want to give young people information and help them give up smoking.
What we are asking for is to recieve funding to train youth volunteers to run the healthy youth
cafe (e.g. food hygiene and nutrition courses). Also we'll need funding for equipment, room hire
and nutrition experts to come in from time to time to provide support.

To take music and Drama and make a serious and understandable film about hidden issues and
pressures youngsters the age of 16-19 go through. Although this challenge is not a completely
new idea I would love the oppotunity to direct and script a film using loads of volunteers to not
only show adults what we go through and what we are capable of but to also show other
teenagers that they are not alone through crisis and troubles. The movie would explore in depth
and feeling what we wish to tell adults. I have been acting from the age of 11 but I notice that
everone has a differnt talent, i would split volunteers up in sections of dancer, singers, rappers,
actors, Camera and audio, editing, and even those who like writing to help with the scripting and
organisation.

I want to expose the harrowing secret world that exists behind closed doors, & raise awareness
about sex trafficking through theatre and performance. I will turn a house into a representation
of a brothel, and include volunteer actors/actresses to tell the stories of real people that have
been trafficked into this Country and held against their will. This is based on a performance like
this that I have already directed for my studies, which has encouraged me to develop this further
and produce this for public viewing. My idea is to guide the audience around the house, and
make an „interactive‟ piece, which will help people to understand the nature of trafficking and
that it can be stopped.

To initiate and manage a book reading initiative within local schools to help young people to
read more and spend less time on the internet, social networking sites and TV. I have read
books such as those in the autobiographical and self-help categories from a young age and find
that it helps me to be imaginative about my life. Reading within a group setting can be very
involving and engaging in helping individuals to formulate their own ideas and concepts. I
believe the category of books used will help inspire, involve and cause those involved to
become more creative.

We set up a group called New Turn, a think tank. Our aim is to get in
speakers/debaters/lecturers to break down key and topical issues for a young audience,
allowing us to make up our minds in an environment that encourages discussion and
disagreement as opposed to one that encourages a narrow mindset. At New Turn we wish to
show that young people are not incapable of engaging, rather it is about time the “system”
engaged with them. Therefore, we wish to publish policy papers that reflect the way young
people are affected by society, ultimately better informing policy makers.

To deliver "Lessons On Life", a youth-led life skills programme for young people which aims to
inculcate the virtues of learning. In disengaged areas it is extremely challenging for young
people to fully know and comprehend the steps they must take towards success. This
programme hopes to solve this issue by equipping young people to pass the challenges of life,
addressing topics such as communication, presentation and relationship management. Using
young role models to deliver programmes makes the message trustworthy, thus inspiring the
audience to fully engage in learning.

expensive or too difficult. Basic knowledge of the Law is invaluable at any age. As well as
learning the Law that affects them the most and learning to form legal arguments, young people

importantly a place to escape from the hustle and bustle of living in Frome and relax to live
music, a game of pool, or just a chat over a glass of Coke. But get this, it will be set up and run
by just us teenagers! Seeing as the adults have ignored our needs so far, let‟s set this up and

Summary
I would like to produce a 10 episode inspirational chat show, promoting outstanding
young people who have overcome extreme circumstances. The show will have its own
dedicated website from which you can view all episodes but the aim is to also air it on a
SKY channel for a larger audience impact. The show will explore many issues that
young people face as well as give a platform to up and coming new musical talent.

Love it love it....There are so many young people, who have difficulties and noone hears
about them...This would be a great opportunity to see/hear their successes. I think it is a

36. brilliant idea. The website idea is cool too. So if people missed an episode, they could
watch it again...Really good idea man. On sky that would be the perfect place to put a
program like that, on. About time that the young people/ our voices were heard and our
stories told.. Great Issac!
4-Aug-2010 5.09PM Petula Hippolyte Says...
I really love this idea. A chance to showcase the talents young people having
overcoming obstacles. Especially at a time when young people are being demonised in
the media for such negative reasons. To actually see young people in their own right,
tell us their story and show thier successes through adversity. This is a brilliant concept
and a worth cause of winning my vote defintely...Mr Nartey I hope you win.
4-Aug-2010 1.05PM vee Ivanhoe Says...
The media is powerfull medium that has been used negatively against young people
especially ethnic minority youths and has instilled fear in a lot of adults. To then turn this
medium on its head to portray the lives of young people who have overcome adverse
circumstances to achieve goals will not only inspire a generation who in similar
situations may not have any goals or have believed the lie that nothing can they cannot
be the change. The hatrick would be to view on sky as the wider gener

Tola, there are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen,
those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. we all have a
choice. You have decided the type of person you wanted to be - the first group. You
have decided if not us, who? If not now, when? BE INSPIRED is a wonderful idea. The
idea we could accomplish anything if we do not think of them as impossible.I am 100%
in supports of this project. Thanks for your thoughts and God bless!!!

Hi, This is a really good thing for young people. People should be acknowledged for

Its a really good idea, given the often negative portrait of young people painted by other
sections of the media in this country.
5-Aug-2010 3.02PM Doyin Amoye Says...
Go Tola, this is a great venture and something that young people can really benefit
from. It's very important to stand up and be outstanding especially in this day and age of
reality TV and instant celebrity! There is a lot that we young people can aspire to! I also
feel like it is especially important to the younger ones (catch em whilst they're young
and all that jazz). Go for it! You 100% have my backing!

television, we need more inspiration from people we can relate to and I belive this
magazine will definitely provide that.

6-Jul-2010 1.18PM deborah Says...
This is a very unique idea simply beacause there are a lot of young achievers who are
not celebrated enough and seeing people from all aspects of life achieveing great things
will be an inspiration to other young people.
6-Jul-2010 12.45PM Debbie Says...
Tola, I salute you once again, this is a fantastic idea...I cant wait to see this prosper...It's
been a long time coming...but this is so needed especially in Lewisham and Southwark
borough. There has been so many successful people from "endz" that have made it,
such as Forreduci, Tobi with the Consultancy, Shola who is now a Lawyer at Freshfields
in the CITY...lol to name a few and it would be good to know their success stories. what
you are doing to inspire these youths is amazing, especial

Summary
To set up a regular weekly group for young parents aged 13-25 in a safe central

44. location, where young parents from all communities in Bradford will be welcome. We will
alternate the sessions one week doing fun things with the children and the following
doing things as parents whilst the children will be with registered childcare in the same
building. We will look to have fun but also run training courses & workshops & also give
help and advice on getting back into education and employment. Our goal for the year
will be to achieve more funding as a group and run a family fun day, which the group will
organised and run as a team.

Summary
A healthy cafe drop-in for young people to socialise and take part in safe leisure time.
We want to add a peer education element to the drop-in as young people react more
positively to ideas and suggestions from fellow young people. In this case, for example,
what type of healthy smoothie to try. Also we want to give young people information and
help them give up smoking. What we are asking for is to recieve funding to train youth
volunteers to run the healthy youth cafe (e.g. food hygiene and nutrition courses). Also
we'll need funding for equipment, room hire and nutrition experts to come in from time to
time to provide support.

Summary
To take music and Drama and make a serious and understandable film about hidden
issues and pressures youngsters the age of 16-19 go through. Although this challenge
is not a completely new idea I would love the oppotunity to direct and script a film using
loads of volunteers to not only show adults what we go through and what we are
capable of but to also show other teenagers that they are not alone through crisis and
troubles. The movie would explore in depth and feeling what we wish to tell adults. I
have been acting from the age of 11 but I notice that everone has a differnt talent, i
would split volunteers up in sections of dancer, singers, rappers, actors, Camera and
audio, editing, and even those who like writing to help with the scripting and
organisation.

Summary
I want to expose the harrowing secret world that exists behind closed doors, & raise
awareness about sex trafficking through theatre and performance. I will turn a house
into a representation of a brothel, and include volunteer actors/actresses to tell the
stories of real people that have been trafficked into this Country and held against their
will. This is based on a performance like this that I have already directed for my studies,
which has encouraged me to develop this further and produce this for public viewing.
My idea is to guide the audience around the house, and make an „interactive‟ piece,
which will help people to understand the nature of trafficking and that it can be stopped.

This is such an important but hidden subject, that needs extra exposure, so as to start

My vote without a doubt goes to Alice in her bid to depict the corruption that
encapsulates sex trafficking. This deeply underground issue cannot be given enough
attention in light of the number of families and children torn apart by its activity every
year. Alice is creative, inspiring and hugely passionate about people issues. I know she
has put a LOT of work into this project and I can't think of anyone better and more
patient to inspire others about such a global social problem. Go Alice!

The project that you have chosen is a serious problem for many people, being able to
research and make a difference would be a great achievement. There are many issues
surrouding this problem and many victims don't know how or where to get help from.
This too is a side of society all must/should be aware of. Alice is passionate and very
creative, any opportunity given to her would certainly have a positive impact.
9-Aug-2010 9.06AM Emma Wicks Says...
I think this is a great idea and would really open up the eyes of those that like to pretend
we live in a perfect society where everyone is treated the same. An informative and

them the chance that so many people take for granted.

don't want to hear.
5-Aug-2010 8.40PM Chris Dungar Says...
This project has been throughly created and demostrated through a passion to expose
and examine the effects of trafficking and human rights. This project is also an amazing
piece of theatre and performance and many people are shocked and educated about
the real effects of trafficking. However this project is sensitive and informative about the
real issues that are being explored. Alice's performance is a great piece of theatre.
Therefore Alice recieves my vote.
5-Aug-2010 8.32PM Aidy James Stevens Says...
Alice is one of the most passionate, dedicated individuals I've had the pleasure of

5-Aug-2010 8.30PM Paula Hanson Says...
I was lucky enough to be part of this incredible piece. I can't express enough how much
it would mean for me if Alice won this. I learnt more on this project then I have ever
done before. This project made me realise that acting is a good way to raise awareness
and I'm so proud to have been a part of it. All the best Alice and thanks for letting me be
part of this wonderful yet horrifying experience.

5-Aug-2010 5.27PM Emma Wysling Says...

58. Go Alice... I really hope it works well. I wish you all the best - you get my vote for sure. I
think we are all guilty of turning a blind eye to issues that do not sit so comfortably with
us throughout life in general and admire you for tackling an issue which is not so
pleasant but hopefully it will help raise awareness and open some people‟s eyes to the
darker sides of our reality in society.! Good Luck Alice!
5-Aug-2010 5.00PM Claire Simmonds Says...
It's about time someone opened people's eyes to this issue and I can't think of anyone
better to do it than Alice!
5-Aug-2010 3.03PM Lisa Masters Says...
That would really bring this hidden issue home, fingers crossed for Alice
5-Aug-2010 2.46PM Izzy Maxwell Watts Says...
I was lucky enough to see this piece for the MA performance and I can guarantee the
audience will leave feeling as if they have experienced something incredible. An huge
eye opener and a fantastically put together and portrayed piece of theatre. Alice is the
best person for this and I support her 100%.
5-Aug-2010 2.31PM Samora Yeboah Says...
I think this project sounds brave and admirable, so many people are content living in
their bubbles without a even glimpse of the ugly/seedy side of our society I think this will
highlight some real issues that need more attention from the masses. You get my vote!
5-Aug-2010 12.27PM Mya Fekry Says...
Alice's idea is not only an amazingly creative installation, but is also an excellent
representation of a growing human rights issue of which this project helps raise
awareness on both a national and global scale. Such an excellent idea and i'm pleased
to support Alice by giving her my vote!

sounded fantastic.

I have worked with alice, as a model and helper in a fashion show she ran, as well as
being a close friend for many years. She is incredibly passionate and really cares about
her cause. Thats why she has my vote and support.
5-Aug-2010 9.15AM james bolton Says...
this story is pushed under the carpet and ignored far too often and needs to be in the
public eye! if anyone can do that its alica

Summary
My big idea to tackle the Big Challenge is to host an event called “R U Ready 2 Dance”
This will be open to the ages of 16 - 25 year olds from our local community. We will be
welcoming dancers, singers, actors, poets along with providing dance classes and work
shops to the build up of the show. From this inventive show we hope to encourage more
young people to unit together and become one. This is to prevent the bad social
aspects we have in today‟s society.

This will be a very positive thing for the youths in our community it will allow them to
show how talented they are and because they dont always get the opportunity to prove
themselves as positive talented young people because of all the negative press they
seem to get.

hopefully this will get the kids off the streets and forming a community

Summary
To initiate and manage a book reading initiative within local schools to help young
people to read more and spend less time on the internet, social networking sites and
TV. I have read books such as those in the autobiographical and self-help categories
from a young age and find that it helps me to be imaginative about my life. Reading
within a group setting can be very involving and engaging in helping individuals to
formulate their own ideas and concepts. I believe the category of books used will help
inspire, involve and cause those involved to become more creative.

Big up to Anthony regarding his reading project that he desires to implement in local
schools. I think this is a good initiative because it aims to challenge young people to
invest in themselves more by reading books that educate and cause them to be more
creative in life. Education is power.
4-Aug-2010 10.05PM Andy (saffirm.com) Says...

71. I thoroughly encourage this project as an avid reader myself, I feel reading helps enrich
ones cultural experiences as well as enable the reader to see world issues in another
persons perspective. I would love to get involved in supporting this project and seeing
the outcome and benefit provides for young people.
4-Aug-2010 8.51PM Emmanuella Sackey Says...
well i think it's a good idea and children need to read more rather sitting infront of a
computer.
4-Aug-2010 8.36PM mary Says...
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee him
4-Aug-2010 8.17PM Joanna Beeko Says...
I very much agree. The art of reading has been lost nowadays. It needs to be brought
back and very quickly. I am in full support of this initiative.

Summary
Our project looks to inspire follow disabled young people by allowing them to explore
how there disability makes them feel through the medium of photography. We are very
passionate this topic and volunteering on this project will allow us to develop the skills to

72. explore body image, sexuality, disability and society‟s perception of them in a way the
differs from very commonly used method of “talking therapy” We don‟t want to just talk
about the issues we want to do something practical to help young people with
disabilities to feel they can be themselves and that their opinion matters. We also want
to show disabled young people and that non-disabled will accept them and that disabled
have the power to inspire others
