Good Citizen Awards for York students follow fundraising efforts

A group of York College students have been recognised for making a difference in their community. Twenty-three students received the North Yorkshire Youth Commission's Good Citizen Award for their fundraising efforts last winter, which involved creating and selling charity Christmas cards. Emily Blavins, project manager for the North Yorkshire Youth Commission, said: "The students at York College have worked incredibly hard on their Good Citizen project, and have shown real enthusiasm for supporting their local community. "They have shown creativity and innovation through their projects, which involved making and selling Christmas cards within the community. "The group raised money for various charities, including a student wellbeing fund for the college." The Good Citizen Award, which is commissioned by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, aims to recognise young people aged between ten and 25 who live or study in York and North Yorkshire.

How the U.K.'s Sickness Benefits Trap Britons

The U.K. welfare situation, if anything, is worse than you suggest in your editorial 'The Crisis of the Welfare State in Profile' (July 7). Some 3,000 Britons a day are being signed on to a long-term sickness benefit from which they are unlikely to emerge. This typically offers more money and security than full-time work at the minimum wage. The puzzle, surely, isn't why so many people claim but why so many still work. I made a film about this last year, arguing that this is a story of good people caught in a bad system. The government invites citizens to take the money: There is an 80% success rate, with 63% put on the highest tier. In-person interviews have been replaced with a cursory phone call, whose questions and accepted answers are easily found online.
