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.”

Danielle Brown is seeking further funding to support The Youth Life Project, if you are interested in supporting the project please email youthlifeproject@gmail.com

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



The Instagram Socialmatic Camera Becomes a Reality Under the Polaroid Brand
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

Charity Utilises Social Media to Raise Awareness

by The Youth Life Project on Thursday, 19 April 2012 at 00:17 ·
Swindon April 2012 - On Sunday 15th April, a Twitter hashtag campaign was kicked off by The Youth Life Project founder Danielle Brown. The aim of the campaign, was to take Swindon’s twitter community back to their youth with a series of fun and provocative tweets with the #YouthStories hashtag to raise awareness for Swindon based youth charity TYLP.

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 idea just came to me, there was no preconceived plan to start #YouthStories and initially thought just a few people would get involved," said Danielle Brown. "After two or three tweets I noticed a few friends had joined in. Within a short space of time it had really taken off and the tweets were no longer just coming from Swindon. We had a people tweeting in London, Kent, Brighton and even the USA which I thought was great and really highlights the power social media can have."


"In just over 3 hours we had 608 mentions of #YouthStories, some of them really took me back to my youth. The memories people were sharing brought me back to a care free time which I now look back on with great fondness. The message I wanted to share with people was that of hope that future generations are able to look back with the same affection as those who participated in #YouthStories last weekend. It is important we lay the foundations for them now to ensure this amazing stage of life is as fun and fruitful as possible, something we strive to do at The Youth Life Project.
