I work for a charity called the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative and we have partnered with Local Giving to further our impact on local charities and young people all across the country and it all starts here!
We hope that young people will be setting up fundraising pages on this website and improving their impact as they start to engage with charities in their community.
As I am expecting young people to do this, I will be doing my own as well. I have chosen Southside Young Leaders' Academy because I live in Camberwell and the opportunities of young people is a personal passion of mine. I am a qualified secondary school teacher and currently working for an educational charity that is designed to engage young people with community and develop their leadership and employability skills.
Southside Young Leaders' Academy and me are a perfect match!
