During the event, Lacey-May facilitated conversations with young people on physical and mental health, encouraging them to share their experiences and concerns. She contributed to group discussions on how children’s rights could be better protected in legislation and how young people can influence positive change. Throughout the day she showed maturity, leadership, and confidence, helping ensure that the voices of her peers were heard! ❤️🖤
