Generation Why survey - results in!

Just wanted to say a BIG THANKS to everyone who filled in our online survey a couple of weeks back - we had 100s of responses, and you (mostly!) said very nice things about us, so we're dead chuffed. Just thought I might share some of the findings... First up, your fave parts of the site are the campaigns pages, do something and t-shirts, which shows you're all keen to actually get involved and do stuff that makes a difference.

You were also all kind enough to rate Generation Why really highly for its design and content (and we didn't even pay you!), and you all wanted more info about volunteering opportunities and careers advice on the site. Loads of you wanted to see some kind of e-community or messageboard on here too... Don't worry - we'll be looking to add this kind of content over the coming weeks and months.

One of the problems we've discovered is that some of you have had problems finding the site - we'll be looking to make all our linking much clearer in the future. We also asked you about alternative straplines for the site - we've found out that anything with the word 'youth' or 'young people' is a huge no-no! So don't fret, we won't be limiting the scope of the site with a boring strapline like that...

I'll leave you with a couple of lovely quotes from your responses: "This website is all what young people think, you are in touch with the youth mind well done! I haven't found a website like it - you're UNIQUE!" And another: "I think it looks great and is really attractive - it makes you want to read all the areas and really relates to younger people and shows how these issues affect them, by tapping into their interests. I think you need to publicise it further."

Thanks again to everyone who filled the survey in! We'd love to hear what you think of Generation Why. Have your say below.

I'm so glad you are not going to use the word Youth in the strapline. Cheers folks! :))
