ONE members are pretty busy people. Whether they’re working a full time job, looking after a family, or just getting on with their day-to-day lives, they don’t let the day go to waste.
Take Sophie and Ellie from Durham. Full-time University students working hard to get their degree and they still find time to run our most successful student society in the UK. Or take Mel from Sunderland, one of our most dedicated members who still finds the time to attend events, host events in her local community, and talk to her MP about our issues, despite working full time for a women’s charity.
Sophie, Ellie, and Mel are like thousands of our members across the UK and around the world. They’re fired-up, passionate, and they’ve got something in common: they just say YES.
So, to celebrate the launch of the Just Say Yes campaign this week, we’re giving you 15 reasons to get on board and say YES.
