International conflict and education top the league of worries for the future among black people, according to a new survey released last week by Get on Board, a campaign to encourage people to volunteer as charity trustees.

The research reveals that 25 to 44 year-olds are likely to worry more about the future than the older generation. Among ethnic minority people in this age group, nearly a quarter place the future education of their children at the top of their list of worries; while a fifth have concerns about international conflict; and more than one in eight are most worried about environmental issues."
