May is the month where Miss England finalists and title holders are supporting YOPEY – a very important charity giving inspirational young people the recognition they deserve, and a fairer image in the media. If you believed everything you read about young people, you would think the whole generation was a bunch of hooligans. However, the majority of youngsters are working hard to become great role models and YOPEY recognises this by rewarding unsung heroes amongst them.

YOPEY helps set them up as positive role models for others to aspire to, and rewards young people through financial aid toward their communities, and also provides training on good citizenship.

The Miss England ladies are supporting YOPEY by hosting teddy bear tea parties, so I invited my three best friends from university over for the weekend to recognise hard working young people. 

We brought our childhood teddies to the party and had a selection of mini pastries along with breakfast tea.

I really enjoyed supporting YOPEY- if young people were recognised more and treated with the respect they deserve, then more young people would aspire to be role models and be successful.
