CONVERSATIONS FOR CHANGE: RACE & INEQUALITY

At the end of June, we hosted a Conversations for Change event focusing on Race and Equality. We heard from Diana Award recipient Gabrielle who shared her own experience with racism and suggested ways to support the Black Lives Matter Movement. We also explored the role of young people in tackling injustices and what being 'anti-racist' means to us.

Our next event will be in August. Make sure you don’t miss out!
