Million Minutes

 launched in 2011 with the support of Delia Smith, Margaret Mizen, and Fr Christopher Jamison. Our mission is to enable young people to be the difference in the world. Too often young people’s enthusiasm and creativity is underestimated. They get shut out of decision-making, stereotyped, and scapegoated for society’s problems. And it’s not right.

So we develop new and innovative projects that help empower young people, inspired by the principles of Catholic social teaching to preserve the dignity of all human beings, to care for creation, and to reach out to those in need.
