Earlier this year, we brought together our incredible community of changemakers, partners, trustees, and friends in the Lake District for the Big Change community retreat. Kat Hamilton and Olivia Chowdry share how the retreat helped them disconnect in order to feel more connected.

✨ One of the many privileges of working at Big Change is supporting the growth of incredible leaders who dare to dream about a different kind of future for all young people. 🎥 Today, we’re proud to spotlight one of them: Jenna Maudlin's The Firefly Project. #OurCommunity #Impact

This #InternationalYouthDay, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on some of our brilliant Youth Consultants. ⭐ Meet Zhahla! Hear from her as she shares what drives her work with us to help shape a brighter future for all young people.

#YouthConsultantSpotlight ⭐ For Formelle, empowerment means voice and visibility. As a Big Change Youth Consultant, she champions meaningful youth involvement in shaping systems that affect their lives, ensuring that change is not only for young people but with them. #InternationalYouthDay2025

Big thanks to Katie for being a Voice for Change! She’s shining a light on Cash for Kids and the joy they bring to young people. Our #VoicesForChange campaign celebrates everyone making a difference for young people, and you can too. ✨ Join Katie in being a Voice for Change.
