**#iwillWeek, which promotes social action among 10-20 year olds takes place from
21^(st)-25^(th) November this year.**

This is the third anniversary of the campaign, which was launched in 2013 at Buckingham
Palace by The Prince Of Wales alongside the Prime Minister and other party leaders,
and aims to increase UK youth social action participation from 40% to 60% of 10-
20 year olds by 2020. The campaign asks young people to make a pledge of activity.

This year, #iwill is asking its partners to celebrate youth social action with an#
iwill Show & Tell to show how young people are making a difference across their 
communities and tell other people about the benefits that can come from saying #
iwill. So far more than 500 business, education, and voluntary sector partners are
taking part with around 122 events to involve young people currently planned for
the week.
