We believe in helping to create a more empowered world and we will focus now, more than ever, on ways to support positive change and educate ourselves. Because we can all do better, together.

We recognise we have a platform and a voice to influence people and strive for change, and we have a responsibility to use it.

Whether it’s taking the time to educate ourselves on the experiences of others, having an uncomfortable conversation with friends and family members or standing up for equality in the everyday.

We want to do what we can to help drive change by sharing some of the resources and organisations that we are using to educate ourselves.
