Last week we announced that Make Your Mark with a Tenner will be run again in 2009, with financial backing from NESTA, Peter Jones and the Birches (who founded and sold Bebo).

In January 20,000 young people will be given £10 each and asked to make as much money and social impact as they can within a month.

Peter Jones and founder of the scheme, Oli Barrett, went down to the UnLtd Social at Canary Wharf to talk to some young people about how they might use their Tenners. British Satellite News filmed proceedings and you can see some of their footage including interviews with Oli, Peter, Reed International and some students from St Matthews Academy in Blackheath.

If you are a teacher, tutor or youth leader and would like to apply to some of the ‘tenner bank’ for your students or youth group you need to fill in an application form. We’re expecting demand to be high so please don’t delay!
