» Thursday, September 6, 2007Youth Volunteering
Asked for a reaction on comments made by David Cameron on youth volunteering, the PMS said that it was not for him to respond to the Leader of the Opposition. The Government’s general position on the subject was that youth volunteering was something the Prime Minister had been interested in for many years and through pre-budget reports and budgets the Prime Minister, when he was Chancellor had channelled a significant amount of research into this area. In his days as Chancellor, the Prime Minister had set up the Russell Commission, which had recommended the setting up of the youth volunteering charity, "V." This charity was launched in May 2006 with £60million being made available by the Government. 200,000 volunteering places were created with one million places in total being created over five years.
