I want to help local teenagers get the best start in life. I have been working in a school in a very disadvantaged area, and want to help them help other children in the area. Their local library is under threat, and I want to provide an alternative after school in the school library, with the students as staff. I want them to create storybags to use reading in the community, a courtyard for the library, a functioning garden, and baby and toddler groups held in the library. This will help them to establish a basis for a future career.

Food prices have soared over the last years, which hit the poorest very hard. Despite that avoidable food waste in the UK alone is 1/3 of the food we buy. This is worth £10bn a year and increases the demand and hence the price of food unnecessarily. Reducing the waste would have social, political, humanitarian and environmental benefits. This project is aimed at researching policies and campaigning for a tax on food waste, nationally and internationally. We believe that taxing food waste will reduce the waste without punishing those who do not waste! Help make a change to millions!

to develop a female football team in the borough of Lambeth for females aged 16+. Coaches will inspire the players from the team to develop into football coaches; they will inspire them by delivering enjoyable and interesting football sessions. They can become coaches by going on relevant courses. The players that qualify as coaches will be able to coach youth teams. Through the development of female football coaches I aim to inspire the initiation of more young females playing football, as the qualified female coaches can then go on to inspire future young females to get involved in the sport.

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.
