people are into travelling though..for freeeeee!
Not sure how much of a budget there is to go with it, but there are pros:
- good way to raise profile / involvement with thesite / youthnet
- helping needy people
- building character and helping young people more than giving them the latest gadget ever could (get them to write a blog!)
Obviously the cons are the cost and the increased difficulty in organising it. food for thought.
that's a really really good idea
Mental imagery of you with a wad of £20s trying to force them up there hahaha
That would be so cool! but a group of people in my school went to Peru for 2 weeks and it was £2000 per person. And thats not including all the injections they needed and some of them were like £50.
But it could be less as the insurance they needed because technically they were going with the school, so the insurance coasted more.
My trip to Peru cost me ~£700, plus injections (which luckily I didn't need because of my dad), the backpack (which again, I didn't need because my sister had one), spending money and appropriate clothing. That was massively subsidised by the college though, and we did a *lot* of fundraising (I think we raised over £10k but I don't really remember).
hahahaha your gonna miss it
or, get a swanky SLR camera for my studies or an iphone ;D
but in an ideal world, as silly as it sounds i wouldnt mind getting a tiny studio somewhere and rent it to do some of my own projects in
Xx
Roll on equality legislation :crying:
Thats a good one...unless you live on a rock.
But yeah, more or less what has already been mentioned sounds good.
Giftcard with an airline perhaps?
Phones, cameras, consoles and stuff is probably desirable for most people. If you don't want to own it you should be able to sell it
Not only are you NOT giving me £500, I can't even entertain the possibility of winning goods to the value of because I am outside of the target age group.
Woe
Love is an eternal, wholesome; human gift which cannot be broken; torn; disheveled; disgraced; usurped or told is otherwise null and void.
Love is?
Excuse me; I think I'm going to shed a tear.
I would personally spend it on music equipment for the boy/clothes/shoes/accesories or baby things
For now we're going with a simple prize draw for 5 PS3's for a money section feedback survey, and a £500 travel voucher/fund plus £500 worth of £5 vouchers for a major new feedback survey for TheSite as a whole. Apparently we're psychologically incapable of providing prizes that don't feature the number 5
We'll then see how that goes and look at other suggestions for the future. I'll post up the surveys when they go live so everyone can take them (though again they will be restricted by funders to UK peeps who are 16-25)
cheers again

OMG OMG OMG woohoo, I am going to enter, hack and close your website down so I can win all the prizes for myself, WOOHOOOOOO
I've just noticed that my TheSite profile is showing my wrong age - it has me at 27 for some silly reason. I am in fact, rather conveniently, only 25. Maybe MoK, if you were to check your profile you'd also find that your age has been entered incorrectly, as you too are indeed, I'm sure, only 25.
