Envision@10 Event: Empowering a Generation of Future Leaders

We celebrated our birthday in style at London's Emirates Stadium last week. Young people from across the UK came together to mark the achievements of the teams who have been changing their communities for the better over the course of the last year.

And as we look forward to working with even more young people in the next ten years, we welcomed representatives from across the UK and from our history too.

This was our chance to showcase the best that young people have to offer to our VIP guests, journalists and decision-makers. As well as presenting teams with their awards, we admired art inspired by Envision's work, had a go at circus skills and were wowed by football, dance and drumming performances. 

The details:

Royal Oak Suite, Emirates Stadium

Friday 16th July, 1pm-5pm
