Thank you to everyone who has come together to celebrate young changemakers today for our Good Life Schools National Summit.

Good Life Schools is our National Lottery-funded, student-led programme which gives young people the opportunity to explore the impact of our consumer-driven, digital society and take meaningful action for change in their communities. Today has been a powerful reminder that our worth and happiness isn’t defined by what we own or what we buy. The Good Life Schools changemakers have shown that it’s possible (and joyful) to live and learn together in ways that put people and planet first.
