If you’re still looking for some exciting pride activities happening this summer, look no further, here’s some recommendations from Team MFL💚
We champion opportunities for young Londoners facing the biggest barriers, so they shape London into a truly inclusive, more prosperous city.🙌
We’re halfway through Pride Month!
We hope you are having a wonderful time, packed with celebration and learning about the LGBTQIA+ community’s contribution to equality and inclusion. 🥳
Thank you for all the amazing work you do!💚
We are glad your families enjoyed our food and recipe kits.🙌
Head over to our Instagram to see a full review of the day, through the eyes of our Youth Board member Sahra.
We're excited to share more from the Summit in the coming days.
We finished with a call to action from Noah...
📢 “We’re not just the leaders of tomorrow, we’re the changemakers of today.” 📢
By connecting young people and power in London, we can help shift that power to young Londoners so they have a bigger say in the city’s future.
This morning we've also been joined by Cllr Claire Holland, Chair of London Councils & Leader of Lambeth Council to discuss the work happening in London to create growth and opportunities for all.
Noah, a MFL Youth Board member, addresses the room:
"Don’t see the young people here as a token in your conversation, see us as a partner".
Alongside Jim Minton, MFL Chief Executive, he set the scene on why we need a #YoungLondonersSummit
Alison McGovern MP, Minister for Employment kicks off the Summit. Opening with a keynote speech on the national agenda for growth and creating opportunities for young people.
Today is our #YoungLondonersSummit 🙌
We're hosted by our long term partner Bloomberg.
The Summit is the first significant opportunity to bring together young people with business, funders, policymakers, educators & communities to support the Growth Plan to deliver inclusive opportunity. 🤝
It's nearly #InternationalWomen'sDay!
At MFL, we provide young Londoners:
📈Skills for life
🗣️Youth voice for social change
💚Community cohesion
Recognizing girls are often excluded from these opportunities.

It’s #NationalCareersWeek 💼
We provide industry insights and work experience to build skills that springboard young Londoners to explore careers they thought were unattainable. 📈
We hosted our own work experience students this half term.💚
Here’s what they have to say about their experience!📢
