Envision is a UK Charity who specialise in using social action as a vehicle for young people. Working in partnership with the Co-op Foundation, academies from across the North competed in the Envision Social Action Project.

Following the launch in March 2022 a group of pupils in Year 8 worked together over a 13 week period to create and plan their own social action campaign. They even had to bid for seed funding before starting their project!

The project set out to create an anti-racist environment in our community. Pupils worked with their fellow North Manchester pupils and local primary schools to educate and empower them to be actively anti-racist.

Alongside ten other academies they presented the results of their initiative in front of Dr Chris Tomlinson, CEO of Co-op Academies Trust, Nick Crofts, CEO of Co-op Foundation and Elizabeth Paulson, CEO of Envision UK and were crowned winners!

A huge well done to all the pupils who took part.
