I am deeply honored and humbled to be chosen to serve as the next Lord Mayor of Leeds for 2024/25 term. Our city is a shining example of compassion, resilience, and unity, and it’s with great pride that my family and I look forward to undertaking the responsibility to serve you.

ICYMI: 'Listen to the children more' - great piece from First News showcasing #TheBigAmbition results & the views of 1m children. Plus, the inspiring  Children's Commissioner for England ambassadors on their hopes for the future. We'll keep working with First News to share our findings far & wide.

Last week, me & CC’s ambassadors had the privilege to co-host the launch of #thebigambition in Parliament.
We had the chance to talk to important policy makers that want to help amplify young people’s voices how the next gov can ensure the best quality of life for children.

Zara and Emanuel were two of the ambassadors who supported the collaborative work of Dame Rachel de Souza . Thro this work She gave a voice to ALL children. Highlighting the impact of Poverty, Not being in school and the need for Hope and
their voices to be heard -

'What’s more concerning is there is a lack of education for young people around vaping.'

My Ambassadors give their reaction to the PM's commitment to creating a smoke free generation by banning the next generation from being able to buy cigarettes.

Read mine and the other youth ambassadors blog posts on our opinions in regards to the new law the government has introduced to ban smoking and vaping for anyone born or after January 1 2009

I had a powerful roundtable discussion focusing on keeping children safe from crime with Children's Commissioner for England discussing ways to address root causes and create a supportive environment for children. Let’s keep the youth safe from crime🤍🕊️🙏🏾

Last week I co-hosted The Big Ambition for Youth Work Roundtable with my Ambassadors, discussing: “How could the next government make children’s lives better through youth work & positive activities?”

My Ambassadors share what youth work means to them: childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/the-big-a…

Incredibly grateful to be able to hear from such inspirational individuals on the importance of sport for young people and ensuring sport is accessible and inclusive for everyone. An honor to meet Olympic gold medalist Dame Denise Lewis and the amazing Youth Sport Trust 8.2.24

Thanks to Emmanuel and Aaliya for coming down from Leeds and Bradford to lead the Youth Work roundtable with me - their first tasks as my @childrenscomm youth ambassadors - they did an amazing job 💫

My first Ambassador Roundtable! Me & Aaliya had the privilege of meeting together again with Children's Commissioner for England and 12 different youth workers on how the next government can help promote youth work and positive activities for children. Great contributions & ideas were made🤩
