A fantastic project to help get young people to volunteer in their local communities. Not sure but think it is currently for the London region:

RockCorps is a production company, sponsored by Orange that uses music concerts to introduce young people to volunteering. Our motto is 'Give, Get Given' which means that our volunteers earn a ticket to the hottest concert of the year, featuring Busta Rhymes among others, by giving just 4 hours of their time to a volunteer project in the community.

On the 6th August, one of the first Orange RockCorps projects of the summer hits Rotherithe. Working with the charity Thames 21, volunteers will help to clean-up the River Thames at Rotherhithe. Volunteers will help to clean the foreshore of rubbish -- shopping trolleys, tires, traffic cones, and bicycles, to name a few! After the project, volunteers will get thier ticket to our huge concert at the Royal Albert Hall in September. You can't buy a ticket, you can't win a ticket, you have to earn your ticket!

This has been mentioned on Radio 1 recently George; I think it is a fantastic idea - just needs a bit more publicity which I think orange could afford.

I hope life is going well for you.
