Sort it out

I wanted to let you know about the ‘sort-it’ campaign that has just been launched. This is a campaign about personal debt - which is growing by £1 million every four minutes. A film will be distributed on the Internet to drive people to the website - the site also provides tools to help people take control of their finances.

This is about doing rather than just talking. The ‘sort-it’ campaign is not a political campaign. It’s about getting people to think about their own social responsibilities. I don’t believe that in opposition all you can do is talk about what you might do in Government. That’s why we've championed the Young Adult Trust; that’s why Conservative candidates are creating their own local social action projects around the country - and that’s why we’ve launched the ‘sort-it’ campaign.

‘Sort-it’ is a website that will campaign on a wide range of issues. Its aim is to inspire people to take personal responsibility for making change happen, and it will provide tips and tools for people to do so - locally, nationally and sometimes internationally.

I really hope that this website will play a big part in helping young people in this country tackle the serious problem of personal debt.
