Dr Carl Stevenerson of UOB bring together BLESST YLAB youth leaders and community organisations and institutions for a day out at the London National Museum, offering marginalised community organisations a powerful opportunity to connect, reflect, and feel seen. For many, it’s more than just a cultural visit—it’s amoment of recognition, where history and heritage affirm their place on thebroader narrative. These experiences foster pride, spark curiosity, and build bridges across generations and backgrounds. They also provide a rare space forjoy, learning, and collective empowerment outside of daily challenges. Huge thanks to Carl Stevenson for making this possible—your support has helped open doors to inspiration and inclusion.
