Campaign: To challenge negative stereotypes of young people

I feel that young people are sometimes unfairly judged by older members of the community.

Many think that others my age are always drinking, causing trouble and generally being a nuisance. But we’re not all like that.

I’m working with Fixers to try to challenge these misconceptions.

I’ve helped to create a film, which I hope will encourage others to give us a chance, and not always presume that young people are up to no good!

Penny Lamport

Penny supports my project. She played a role in my Fixers film.
