TYLP..Let's build a brighter future for our youth!!

Mission Statement

The purpose of The Youth Life project is to provide support and guidance to young people, empowering them to reach their full potential by building a better and brighter future, not only for themselves but for the next generation of youth, creating future community leaders and role models. We call this a 'spiral of inspiration'.

We equip young people with the skills required to make positive life choices and support them in their growth and development.

The Youth Life Project is centered around the voice of the youth, therefore being the charity they want and need us to be.

Original Press Release

Swindon, November 2011 - The Youth Life Project charity has been launched in response to the media scrutiny of the youth following the August riots of 2011 to communicate the thoughts, feelings and concerns of the unheard youth.

The Youth Life Project aims to restore the faith lost in young people and equip them with the skills required to make positive life choices. Providing a service for young people in the region aged 10-19 to utilise, The Youth Life Project is born from the passion of its founder Danielle Brown for the care and well-being of young people. 

The Youth Life Project Founder Danielle, 27, has extensive experience in the charity arena working on a voluntary basis with children of all ages in youth centres and youth groups. As a keen organiser of fundraising events, creating a charity close to her heart was always going to be Danielle’s next step.

“Building a better and brighter future for the next generation of young people was the driving force behind taking my passion of charity work to the next level”, said Danielle. “Young carers, parents and the vulnerable are all in need of a voice that will speak up for them and this is what we strive to do at The Youth Life Project. We need to hear more about the positive things the young people are doing“

“We are committed to providing help and support for young people, to help them reach their full potential. These young adults are in great need of inspirational role-models and at The Youth Life Project we intend to support their development to become upstanding citizens and role models. “I remain a huge believer in community spirit and embracing that spirit with the youth. It is important that we ensure youth feel a sense of belonging and consider themselves key stakeholders in their communities in order for them to be the best that they can be.”

The Instagram Socialmatic Camera Becomes a Reality... Instagram Just Got Real!

Remember Socialmatic from last year? The conceptual camera that combines the digital world of Instagram and the analog world of Polaroid? Well, it’s about to become a reality.

That’s because the rights to make and market products under the Polaroid brand have just been granted to Socialmatic LLC, the company founded by the person behind the concept, Antonio De Rosa.

Specifically, the Polaroid brand, which is owned by PLR IP Holdings and marketed by C & A, will be attached to the upcoming camera. So, it shall be known as the Polaroid Socialmatic Camera.

What's really cool are the features that bring the social part of Instagram to life. With its two lenses, one for main capture and another for 3D fliters, webcam applications and QR code-capturing, you can snap and edit pics the way you would using the Instagram app and then post them straight to Facebook,Twitter, and of course, Instagram. 

It will be equipped with Wi-Fi/3G connectivity and 16GB of onboard storage. It will also have a SC-HD slot for external storage.

Most interestingly, it will let you print out your photos right from the camera and share it IRL.

Release is planned for early 2014

Facebook acquires Instagram $1 Billion (£629million).

Big news have just dropped via Techcrunch, that online social networking giant Facebook has just acquired Instagram for $1 Billion (£629million).
Instagram was launched in October 2010 - initially just for the iPhone before being offered as an Android app last week.
It has proven hugely popular. The firm says that it has more than 30 million users uploading more than 5 million new pictures every day.
Let’s see what Facebook does with Instagram going forward. It looks like the photo sharing service will remain independent.

Mark Zuckerberg said this via his Facebook page:
 "We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience.
"We plan on keeping features like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook."

He added: "This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users. We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all."

Mr Kedrosky said the speed of the deal was unusual.
"I'm told it also came together very quickly, like a lightning strike.
"After launching on Android last week and adding one million users a day, it became obvious that this wasn't just a photo sharing app - it was a competitive social network, and the concern may have been that there would be rival bids."

"That's the only reason to think Facebook would have done this in the quiet period ahead of its flotation."
