**Bright One, the volunteer-run communications agency for charities, social enterprises
and other not-for-profits, is to work with Junction49, a TimeBank project that enables
young people to define and generate their own volunteering opportunities around 
issues that matter to them.**

Bright One will be providing advice on Junction49’s social media strategy, using
sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Bebo and Twitter to raise awareness of the opportunities
to young people and drive users to the Junction49 site.

Bright One’s volunteers will be using their social media skills to connect with 
an active online audience and demonstrate the value that social media brings to 
the voluntary sector.

The partnership was announce during Student Volunteering Week, which is appropriate
given that both Junction49 and Bright One work with student volunteers.

Ben Matthews, Founder of [Bright One](http://www.brightone.org.uk), said: “There
are some great ideas being posted by young people onto the site and the support 
and advice that Junction49 gives people to turn those ideas into reality is invaluable.
There is truly great potential to engage with these young people using the platforms
and services that they use in their daily lives.”
