27 Jan 2016 - 09:41 by michelle.foster

Across the UK, millions of young people choose to make a difference in their community through social action — whether by campaigning against climate change, mentoring a peer who's struggling at school, starting a social enterprise, or fundraising for a cause they are passionate about.

horizon is a free digital mapping tool to enable any organisation to access data on youth social action programmes. The goal is to make it easy for schools, local authorities, third sector organisations and funders to discover what youth social action is taking place in their region

horizon brings together in one place all of the data on these activities to enable powerful insights into young people's participation in social action across the UK.
Some organisations already registered: University of Manchester, UpRising, GMYN, City Year, Future Foundations, vInspired and more.

As part of HRH Prince of Wales’ the #iwill campaign, horizon are trying to build a comprehensive picture of youth social action taking place in the UK.

You can register and showcase the impact you’re having in Greater Manchester on horizon, the process is simple and takes around 10 – 15 minutes.
