Thank you to those who nominated our campaign for the SMK social change awards 2023 - we have since been shortlisted in the 'Young Campaigner' category which is a real honour as we have only been in operation 9 months and are entirely grassroots.
We will keep you posted on the outcome!
In the meantime what is most important is that we don't let the government forget about young people and rates of domestic abuse - let's keep applying pressure on our local MPs, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan and the general government.
We are grateful to all 94,000+ of you who have taken the time to sign or let us know why you have signed, here is a picture of us at our local Tesco because it's a reminder that we are just regular young people. We are all in full-time education or employment and do this campaign on a voluntary basis on the side because we truly believe in the transformative and potentially life-saving power of education.
Faustine and all the team :)
