My story of hopefulness is Greenpod labs. To help reduce food spoilage and waste, they study the chemical signals a plant uses to keep its fruit ripe. Then they harness them and put them in sachets to store in crates of harvested fruits and vegetables. Getting those signals, the fruits stay ripe and healthy longer. This is inspiring to me because they were able to ask a simple but impactful question and find a healthy natural solution. It’s a testament to the idea that such solutions can be found for many more challenges we face.

Using music and culture to inspire action. The only way to get a ticket is to volunteer.

I'd like to celebrate and acknowledge Libby Collar a graduate designer from Manchester Met University who started working freelance for #Whyvote? youth led creative campaign and competition - to get young people engaged in democracy and empowered to register to vote, ahead of the 2024 UK General Election. Libby was unusual as she already had a healthy and much needed passion for politics and the democratic process. She entered and won a Creative Conscience award in 2023 for a project linked to this important theme. Her openness and creative input helped build a successful launch and then the development of the #Whyvote? campaign that engaged hundreds for young people across the UK. Libby continued to work with Creative Conscience for another campaign encouraging black and brown voters in the UK to get involved in the Mayor's election across London and beyond. She has become a valued member of the Creative Conscience community. Now developing and supporting a #Whyvote? USA programme ahead of the presidential elections in America. It's so good to see a passion young creative using their talents and skills to build a better world. Thanks Libby you're awesome.

I’d like to write about Eddy Altmann, a physics graduate who works at Creative Conscience. Eddy is a climate scientist, speaker, and educator who genuinely cares. He has shattered many preconceived ideas that people often have about those gifted with a scientific and logical mind. Eddy's ability to connect with people through powerful, brave, vulnerable, and personal stories is unparalleled. Science can seem cold, unfathomable, and unapproachable to many, yet Eddy brings compassion to the climate and planetary crisis that inspires others to have hope and, from that hope, to take much-needed action. It’s an honor to work with him. He is simply an amazing human—dedicated to working for little, yet always for the good of humankind.

The A Leader Like Me network set up by Advita Patel and Priya Bates inspires me with its power of community and speaking up. Advita and Priya created the network for aspiring leaders from diverse communities to provide encouragement, support and strength. Inclusion runs through everything they do. Their under-represented speakers list is a fantastic resource for event managers!

Karen Teago and the team at YESS Law provide a great service of employment law advice for anyone who needs it.

Womanity in Afghanistan I was impressed with the charity Womanity Foundation, which works globally with local non-profits to accelerate gender equality. Despite the challenges in operating under the Taliban, and with many non-profits stopping work there, they are still working with women in Afghanistan, educating women and girls.
