The various campaigns gained a vast amount of media coverage in the UK and the various campaigners won audiences with representatives from the British government such as Gordon Brown and Ed Balls. The campaign subjects included: anti-gang violence, organ donation, random acts of kindness, micro charity, traffic calming and the promotion of music in Iraq.
