About me

Welcome to my blog. Im always looking for new ways of bringing people together to build campaigns. Im always amazed by the energy and passion of the people I meet and the different skills they bring to making change happen - the ideas we try out, the campaigns we work on, the relationships we build together. I want to share those stories with you. I hope you enjoy them!

CREATIVE CAMPAIGNS CAMP - 7 FEBRUARY

Do you want to learn creative campaigning techniques and use them to help shape our campaign?


We’re launching "All Doled Up" our campaign on youth unemployment and we want you to try out new techniques to help develop it!


Almost one in five young people are out of work. Unemployment affects us all, whether we're out of work or our friends and family are.


That's why we want to work with you so you can do something about it together. So you can get together with other young people to campaign on youth unemployment where you live or study.


Toynbee Hall and Compass Youth want to invite you to an all day training day. So you’ll be able to



  • Use stories young people have shared with us on youth unemployment to spread the word about our campaign and get those in power to support and act on our pledges



  • Learn creative campaigning techniques - such as making viral videos, get your message out to the media and designing campaign visuals



You'll be able to try these out on the day itself with other young people and most importantly what you create will be what we use to campaign on youth unemployment - your videos, your slogans, your flyers!



This is what our last campaigns camp was like, just imagine you could take part in our next one!

creative campaigns camp - next steps

Thank you for taking time out of your weekend to take part in Creative Campaigns Camp. It was a chance for all of us to step back from what we know and try out new ways to campaign using creative techniques.

Sign up for our next session

Thanks for the feedback about how practical the workshops were, how organically things came together for you to learn new skills and create campaigns and how we might improve.

Do you want to meet up so we can work out together what we can do next? Sign up here for our next session on Thursday 9th July at the amazing Whitechapel Gallery.

We can talk about how we can take forward the campaigns you developed, how you might like to contribute to our activities or even organise a Campaigns Camp where you are.
Sign up for our new website

We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. It was amazing at how you all bonded and worked with each other so well.

Do you want to relive the different journeys of your campaigns as well as your experiences of the day? Sign up here for our new Creative Campaigns website where we’ll show all the videos we filmed of the day.

This will also give you the opportunity to not just find out about upcoming activities but tell us about projects you may be involved in, to upload your experiences and stories of campaigns and issues that matter to you.
