The annual “Takeover Day” comes round again, and this year Plan UK are involved.
“Takeover Day” is a national activity day that lets the children takeover and show their worth – a scheme led by Children’s Commissioner for England, Sir Al Aynsley-Green and supported by 11 million.
In this scheme English children will be allowed to take the reigns of schools, newspapers, football clubs and local MP’s. Last year 17,000 children took place and this year the Plan UK will take part as advised by Youth Advisory Board.
It is believed it will help children gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day work of Plan UK, build enthusiasm within the charity sector, help them to appreciate diversity within the group and contribute to the group’s development. “Takeover Day” will take place on 30th October.
This is one of those positive stories that is unfortunately rare. And instead of pinning youths as an enemy or a force to be afraid of, “Takeover Day” helps to promote them as our future, train them and instill confidence in their ability.
