Changed campaign idea

I have decided that i am going to change my campaign idea. After thinking about it i realised that not many people would support my campaign because of these reasons.

• Unhealthy
• Shops would loose money and disagree

If thinking about this you start to realise that the campaign which is intended to make people smile will have the opposite affect.

I have decided to change my idea so that whenever you come into college in the morning everyone gets a free smoothie. This is a good campaign idea because not only will it be good for people who like smoothie's but it will help them concentrate in lessons and this makes it easier for the teachers. It is also a much healthier idea for students than one day of free chocolate. I think that other people such as the government would agree with me because the aim of it is to make teenagers in the UK healthier as the number of overweight and obese children in the UK has risen steadily over the past 20 years. In 2004 it was also estimated that 14 percent of boys and 17 percent of girls aged two to 15 were obese.

People that would not be very happy about this would be for example innocent smoothie.

They would not like this idea because if more children when they get to either school or college are having smoothies this may mean that when families go to the supermarket there is no need to get smoothie for their children if they are getting it at school.

However they may like this idea because if we campaigned to get innocent smoothie to supply free smoothies for children every day then they may not get money in the short run. However in the long run this may be a good idea because if children are getting the smoothies at college and they decide they like them on the way home they may decide to get another which is more money for Innocent smoothie.

Campaign about postal workers strike

Today Tom Woodcock came in a talked to us about ideas that we could use to help us with our campaign. He told us that for our campaigns to be successful they would have to be clear, focused and addressed at the right people. He gave us a list of website and ideas that we could use to help us create our campaign.

He told us that we could do letter writing to either the prime minister and local people. He also told us that we could do press release by using

• Radio
• Newspapers
• Websites
• Television

This campaign is a campaign that Tom woodcock who is the secretary of the cambridge and districts trades union council. He campaigned that people who campaigned to support postal workers on strike. They collected over £300 for the strike fund and distributed 300 leaflets explaining the dispute.

Here is a picture of Tom and his friends campaigning for the postal strikers.

I don't agree with this campaign because i believe that workers should not be payed to not go to work. I believe that if you are not happy with the amount of money you are receiving from your job so much that you are not going to work, then you should either find another job or go to your work and try to campaign instead of going on strike. By going on strike you are not only affecting yourself but you are also effecting other people that are meant to be receiving either letters or packaging.

However on the other hand they are not getting enough money and the Government are cutting their pensions as well . I now can understand why they are on strike but i don't believe that that is the best solution to their problems. Steve Sweeney, Secretary of the Cambridge & Stevenage postal workers support group added " The post office has become a key battle for all those who think ordinary people should not be made to pay for the bankers crisis.
