Today marks a special moment of connection, inspiration, and community spirit. We were honoured to welcome Councillor June Hitchen, whose visit brought encouragement, wisdom, and genuine engagement to the young people of Ensemble Manchester.
Throughout the session, she listened attentively to their voices, their aspirations, and their ideas for the future. Her presence affirmed something powerful — that young people matter, their stories matter, and their dreams deserve to be heard.
The young participants shared their creativity, their cultural pride, and their vision for a stronger community. In return, Councillor Hitchen offered thoughtful words on leadership, civic responsibility, and believing in one’s potential. Her message was clear: every young person has the ability to shape their future and contribute positively to society.
Moments like these build bridges between generations, strengthen confidence, and plant seeds of possibility. This visit was more than an event — it was a meaningful exchange that reminded us all that when leaders and young people come together, communities grow stronger.
We extend our sincere gratitude for her time, her encouragement, and her commitment to supporting youth voices.
Together, we continue building pathways for the next generation.
