The Reverse Riots Message Reaches the Top - Prime Minister Supports Positivity Campaign!
The last few weeks have witnessed an incredible response to the Reverse Riots campaign, with nearly 3,000 young participants and 25 celebrities advocating against the negative stereotypes of Britain’s youth. The movement’s resonance has reached the highest levels of government.
Prime Minister has publicly endorsed the campaign, stating:
“The riots last summer were a wake-up call for the country. I am determined that we will tackle the causes of the riots to ensure they never recur. As we approach the anniversary, I’m pleased to see Vinspired highlighting young people’s positive contributions in Britain. Over 8,000 young people participated in the National Citizen Service last summer, and this year, we’re extending it to 30,000. It’s crucial to engage young individuals in community-building. I wish Vinspired success in their campaign.”
The Deputy Prime Minister added support by saying:
“We can’t change the past, but we can look forward. Young people expressed their desire to be a driving force in rebuilding and strengthening communities. I’m delighted to see Vinspired rallying them around a positive campaign for change.”
