“Leducate is an amazing charity to get involved in and has allowed me to make a difference in an area that I believe is truly important. At school I often felt as though the curriculum lacked in delivering key information about how the legal system worked and what our rights were within this, which I feel is fundamental information that everyone should know. By working with Leducate I am able to help inform future students about their rights and thus facilitate a greater legal understanding”
