Afternoon tea with the Lord Mayor
A group of young people from the Together Trust enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea at Manchester Central Library with the Lord Mayor of Manchester Councillor Donna Ludford.
Kelly Hall, Children and Families Manager, says:
“What a delightful experience it was for our young people. All children thoroughly enjoyed having tea and cake with the Lord Mayor. Councillor Donna was amazing and very welcoming to us.”
Lord Mayor Councillor Donna Ludford was part of Together Trust’s Achievement Awards ceremony earlier this year, during which she fell in love with the young people’s dedication and drive. She invited some of the people she chatted with to visit her chambers at the Manchester Town Hall and have a chat about how the Council can support them.
As a care leaver herself, Lord Mayor Councillor Donna Ludford is very passionate about the rights of young people in the care system and care leavers. Besides offering caring homes, Together Trust also campaigns for better provisions for children in care, as well as for children with SEND.
