'Fixers' campaign

We're running a campaign that shows just what young people can do when they are given a chance. 'Fixers' helps 16 to 25-year-olds fix something that they feel strongly about.

Fixers: the truth about homeless young people in Wales

As many as twenty-five thousand young people between sixteen and twenty-four may be homeless in Wales during the course of this year - and a common perception is that this is often the fault of the young people themselves.

Now, with the help of Fixers - the campaign we've been featuring which gives young people a voice on issues which matter to them - Suzy Sorby from Cwmbran has made an advert to try and change those perceptions, and show that most are the victims of things beyond their control.

Fixers: 'Support needed to improve sexual health'

In the third part of our 'Fixers' campaign - giving young people a voice to champion the issues that really matter to them - we meet Jenna Gidding, who's 16 and from Flintshire.

We hear that sexually transmitted diseases are affecting young people more than older groups, with two-thirds of all diagnoses of women and half of men amongst the under twenty-fives.
