Today, more than ever, it is vital that there is a strong youth movement working towards the protection of human life in the UK. Once upon a time, young people were seen and not heard. Now, the voice of the youth is one of the most powerful tools in affecting change at a societal and legislative level.

To the internet!
Much has been made of the influence of social media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are certainly useful and help to spread the pro-life message to those who would never otherwise hear it. Consider the way in which the symbols like the rainbow flag have been used on social media to spread acceptance of same-sex marriage, and other ideas. Youth who are unashamedly pro-life and pro-family can also witness to friends, family and co-workers, simply by the profile pictures and profile picture frames they choose to use.
Taking it offline
However, the traditional means of campaigning remain relevant today and are sometimes a better means of debating about subjects which are so fraught with emotion. Debates which have a tendency to turn nasty online can often be conducted in a civil manner in person, equipped with a foetal model set, a leaflet with statistics, or even just a friendly smile.
Activities like leafleting, giving out information on the street, running stalls, hosting debates, establishing pro-life societies at schools, colleges and universities, fundraising and pro-life chains are all tried-and-tested means of pro-life evangelisation which SPUC conducts all over the UK.
Supporting youth
SPUC youth activities include the annual Youth Conference, an annual internship , bi-annual university speaker tours, short-term work experience and free literature for your university, school or group. SPUC also offers its own speakers free-of-charge to pro-life groups or individuals organising talks and debates.
