The Big Lottery is giving money to groups of teenagers between 14 and 19 who want to become active citizens. The teenagers who would like to help make the area you live in better,cleaner, safer and more friendly can actually get money for improving your local community (社區(qū)).We have $ 80,000 to give away. We are looking for young people to take part inschemes(規(guī)劃) and projects near to where they live.

Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Meeting the neighbors Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock onpeople's door and find out what they would like improving in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don't want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors.
Neighborhood watch Neighborhood watch schemes are very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it's very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It's a good way to make the area you live in safer. You could set one up easily and quickly.
Lending a hand There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do iheir shopping once a week, look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog.
No littering Nobody likes picking up other people's rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable.
Recycling Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas already provide places to people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your neighborhood. Ifit's not, do something about it.
So go on...Just tell us what kind of project you want to join jn. Then we'll send you more details. Take positive action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in.
