Young trustee

As a young trustee I hope to help to create a place where young people feel safe and supported. Young people can continue to fight for change and against social injustice to make the world a better place. The best thing about being a young today is being tech savvy. We have the world at our fingertips. The young people I admire the most are all of the young trustees for all their hard work and dedication to The Children's Society.

Young trustee

As a young trustees, I hope to speak up for young people and give them a voice. I believe that young people can change the world for the better by speaking up on problems that are normally brushed under the carpet. The best thing about being young today is that I know i’m not the only one suffering and people will support me no matter what. My dream is to be able to raise awareness about bullying and racism especially in schools.

Young trustees

My role as a young trustee is to help voice what young people think and believe in. I want to see a future where young people are more accepted and appreciated for the work they do and not pushed aside. This is what motivates me to do the work I do with The Children's Society. 

To me hope means looking for a better tomorrow that eventually things will work out. Hope is important because sometimes you need a little something to help inspire you to keep going and fighting for what you believe in
