This is the 23rd most popular campaign
Four weeks training everybody gaining My idea is to take a group of people,16- 25 year olds ,unemployed, people on drug rehabilitation, a group of people on parole or probation, whatever the background. The group must come from one local area they are trained by my dads training company for four weeks and all will get a recognised qualification in Painting and Decorating, plumbing, tiling ETC . In return the group must undertake a local voluntary project for three months, redecorating a run down housing estate, old folks home, Hospice, anything. The young people get a skill for life and three months on site experience. The local project will benefit from three months free labour and contractors will be able to cherry pick the best people to employ by being encouraged to visit the said projects in their local towns.

So get behind the issues that matter most to you. You have until midday 30 March to cast your votes.

SHOUT ABOUT BATTLEFRONT
Everyone loves a nice badge. Especially badgers, for whom they are the primary source of income. Those furry little craftsmen have knocked up a particularly natty Battlefront one which you can stick on Bebo, MySpace, Facebook or your own website to show your support.
Just copy and paste the code below into your website – just like embedding a YouTube player – and then anyone who clicks it will be sent to the Battlefront site, and your page will look at least ninety times as snazzy.
Great Idea! Defo a winner!
