The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) have launched the Growing Giving Parliamentary Inquiry.
The first strand of the Parliamentary Inquiry will examine the role of education in helping young people to learn about and engage with charity. It will examine potential new opportunities for young people to become involved in charity and how we can make giving opportunities fit for the digital age.
CAF would be grateful for ideas and evidence from everyone with an interest in this area.
As a guide to help start the debate, here are the questions that CAF hope to address:
• How can we ensure that primary and secondary education instil the value of charity in young people?
• How can we ensure that higher and further education provide opportunities for young people to continue to be involved with charities?
• How can we encourage more young people to become charity trustees?
• How do we ensure young people make a lifetime connection with charity through volunteering, work placements and social action?
• How are young people engaging with charity in a digital world?
• How can we make sure giving is fit for the digital age?
Submissions should be emailed to: [email protected] by Monday 29 April 2013. Submisisons should include contact details, name, position and whether you have contacted CAF as an individual or on behalf of an organisation.
