I am involved in a project focused on youth-led accountability and childcare reform, in partnership with Hope and Homes for Children.

This work builds on a previous collaboration with the Bishop Simeon Trust in Ekurhuleni, South Africa, where we supported the development of a youth leadership programme in Isibindi Safe Parks using participatory arts.

The initiative was part of the Changing the Story - a GCRF/AHRC Network Plus programme.

Currently, we are co-developing a Youth Accountability Toolkit with Hope and Homes for Children in South Africa and Rwanda, which will be implemented across their global network.
