Coinciding with the one year anniversary of the 2011 riots, Reverse Riots is a Do Something UK campaign set up to empower young people to create a wave of positivity towards British youth.

A number of stars, including singer Paloma Faith, have donated their Twitter profiles to the cause. British prime minister David Cameron has also given his support to the campaign.
