I was delighted to speak at the graduation ceremony for the PTPerfect girls, in St Paul’s Centre. The girls have really raised the bar and I have been blown away by their ideas, their community spirit, and their drive for change. They put together a truly inspirational manifesto and over the course of the project they have built valuable like skills and their confidence has grown immeasurably.

The girls travelled to Parliament to mark the centenary of women receiving the vote, Port Talbot’s very own 21st century suffragettes and appeared on stage at the Women of the World festival at the South Bank.

They have shown that a postcode should never dictate your potential but above all they have been a real inspiration.
