Last month was our first in-person Youth Panel for The Sun Fund. Taking place at Lock29, young people came to share ideas for their future. This is what The Sun Fund is all about, ideas for young people led by young people.
Led by our Corporate Responsibility Lead, Steph Reece, the session brought everyone together to share ideas, listen to young people's perspectives, and better understand what matters most to them. Their honesty, creativity and enthusiasm truly captured the spirit of what we're trying to achieve.
We also want to give a big shout-out to the youth organisations who made it possible by bringing these young people along: GetFed, Distraction Youth, Futures Institute and Activate Learning. They understand the importance of giving young people a voice, and we're so excited to see what comes next.
What is The Sun Fund?

The initiative will focus on:
Mentoring and work experience opportunities
