A recent report by Ipsos Mori provides an evaluation on the Uniformed Youth Social Action Fund, created to support the Step Up to Serve #IWill Campaign.
It was found that three quarters of adult beneficiaries surveyed considered the social action they experienced to be "very worthwhile" and most said they felt more proud of their local area as a result of the social action activities being carried out by young people.
In addition, after talking to the young people involved, 77% of beneficiaries said they had a more positive impression of what young people contribute to their local communities as a result.
The research also shows that youth social action can have a knock-on benefit to participation levels - the more young people that beneficiaries interacted with, the more likely they were to volunteer themselves.
