Reverse Riots: Empowering Youth to Shape Their Future

Reverse Riots Campaign Image

The media has often painted young people as the face of “Broken Britain,” characterized by stereotypes like ASBOs, hoodies, and irresponsible behavior. However, the Reverse Riots campaign is challenging these misconceptions by showcasing the positive contributions of young people. As part of our commitment to civic engagement and combating homelessness and poverty, Reverse Riots provides a platform for youth volunteering.

Recent reports of potential summer unrest underscore a need for change. Rather than focusing on negative portrayals, our campaign highlights the resilience and positive impact of young people. We aim to reverse the narrative with an inspiring online gallery featuring thousands of images of young people demonstrating their community contributions.

Young People Leading Change

New research shows that young people are more likely to volunteer than older generations, with 36% of 14-25 year olds having volunteered in the past year. Despite this, public perception remains skewed. Our campaign seeks to alter these views by empowering young people with digital literacy and IT skills, enabling them to aim high and achieve their goals.

Reverse Riots is the inaugural campaign of our Do Something UK programme, designed to offer young people quick and effective ways to drive change on important issues. We are proud to have support from diverse public figures, amplifying the message that young people are a force for good in society.
