Be part of Takeover Day 2010

Takeover Day is a national event offering children and young people across the country the chance to work alongside adults and get involved in decision-making in a wide range of organisations. Everyone can be part of it!

Now in its fourth year, the event has grown from strength to strength since it was launched. Last year, around 30,000 children and young people worked with hundreds of organisations, including businesses, schools, police and fire services, newspapers, banks, TV and radio stations, charities, local councils, MPs, hospitals and government departments.

This year we want to encourage 40,000 children and young people to show adults what they can do. We also want more businesses and organisations to benefit from a fresh perspective on their work and to celebrate the positive contribution children and young people make to society.
