MAYORS FUND FOR LONDON

It was an immense honour to be asked to be part of the Mayors Fund for London Be Open City Pitch programme. This programme empowers young Londoners to step up as leaders and make a difference in their communities. Pupils from primary and secondary schools across London are given the opportunity to plan and launch social action projects, whilst developing leadership, project management and communication skills.
​​The film will give my view on what is the most important facet of leadership and hopefully help to inspire and motivate children to believe that they can really make a change.
