Dear @GermanEmbassy, @UKinGermany, and @steve_mccabe, I'm filled with hope and excitement for this opportunity, but the uncertainty and fear of not being able to participate deeply saddens me. Your support would mean the world to me. 🙏 #VisaHelp#YouthExchange (2/2)
Got given a lot of goodies from stalls set up by @coopuk and the @CoopParty, and the food yesterday was to die for 😩.
Thank you @coopuk-OP and @barnardos for allowing me to attend this event and represent the Barnado’s and Co-op Youth Advisory Group
Had an amazing day at the National Youth Summit representing @barnardos and @coopuk as the Barnado’s and Co-op Youth Advisory Group Member.
I also had the chance to meet the amazing @RoseMarley1 who is the CEO of @CooperativesUK
@UKYouth Never give up! It may feel easy to quit, but i promise if you persevere it will all be worth it and the reward will be much greater

Invest in our future, that means investing in youth sectors, investing in education and investing in more oppuortunities for young people. You have the power to bring about change, and it is time you begin now.

This is not something that should be happening in a first world country. It is time we stand up and say enough is enough, it is time we hold the government to account.
I also have an additional message to the government from the young people of this country.

During my speech i discussed the negative implications this cost of living crisis has had on young people. Many young people have had to sacrifice their childhood, their enjoyment and mental and physical wellbeing.
