As a citizen of Brighton and Hove, I was wondering what could be done on an individual level to improve society in our new city, so I did a survey to find out what views people had on this.
The results were very interesting. I found 90 per cent thought it is a part of being a good citizen to help other people on an individual basis. I found this very encouraging for our future.
When asked "what could an individual actually do to make a difference", there was a range of answers - from giving money or time to help charities, helping in the community, improving the environment by recycling or not dropping litter, to something as simple as "really listening to people".
If we each do just a little, things will improve.
