People all over the country came together to help change their communities, with a special focus on activities helping young people, families and children living in poverty. Youth centres were redecorated, reading schemes were set up, healthy eating sessions started and street parties bought families and communities closer together.

Thousands of young people were involved through their youth club or at school, college or university.

Here are just a few of the highlights involving young people in CSV Make a Difference Day 2007....

* Students at the University of Birmingham invited Young Offenders to their radio station, SCRatch, and shared skills in producing a radio show.

* Pupils at Framwellgate School in Durham washed cars in the community and collected books to donate to a young carer's charity.

* Students from the University of Northumbria painted a fantastic mural on an underpass connecting two parts of the city.
