Our Lockdown Campaign



Watch our founder, Amani Simpson on Channel 5 news speaking about our campaign

“Our Voice, Our Truth, #OurLockdown”

We compiled a series of special videos that amplified the voices of young people (aged 6-21) during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Our videos were shared on social media and featured role models & celebrities who gave an insight into their lockdown experience while sharing words of encouragement.

Young people chose to answer one of following questions:
1) ONE thing that made you smile during lockdown
2) ONE thing that you won’t take for granted after lockdown
3) ONE thing that you’ll do differently after lockdown
4) ONE thing that you’ve had to overcome during lockdown
5) ONE thing that you’ve learned about yourself during lockdown
6) ONE thing you want our leaders to consider when planning for the future
7) ONE thing that you hope will change in the world after lockdown
