I felt like I was on tour today!🌟 Starting early with a Q&A with the Young Trustees Movement , where I spoke to a group of young people that are considering applying for their first Trustee role. It was great to reflect on my journey into trusteeship and share my insights from my experience on a board!💼 Yes, this was done in my *firmly parked* car as I had to whiz into the newly built Co-Op Academy in Belle Vue, to present to the Department for Education Delivery Unit. Representing Young Manchester, I discussed our mission to empower young people, the challenges they face in Manchester, and provided recommendations for authentic youth engagement💬 My afternoon took me to Cheetham Hill, where I conducted a consultation with a group of young people to gather their valuable insights🗣️ I wrapped up the day at home with a skills session from the Patchwork Foundation which was a panel discussion with KPMG professionals about their career paths so far🎓 A busy day indeed but, these are by far my favourite kind! 🩷

Young Manchester’s Away Day📊🐐⭐️ Our team at Young Manchester had an incredible day at the The Children's Adventure Farm Trust. The day was full of connection, collaboration and a little bit of adventure! From cuddling adorable animals🐰to strategising for the next 6 months, it was a perfect blend of team-building and future planning. It was also an amazing opportunity to bring both our team and board together, strengthening relationships and aligning our vision for the road ahead. A huge thankyou to The Children's Adventure Farm Trust for hosting us at their beautiful farm - it was inspiring to see the work they do to support children and families across the North West. A great day overall! #youngmanchester #awayday #collaboration #teambonding #youthempowerment #teamandboard
