Sam Smith ‘Re-writing the Labels that Hold Us Back’

Supporting young people has been a lifelong passion for Sam. In this talk he shares his own personal story of how he has overcome barriers from his tough background and rejected the labels given to him to become a successful social entrepreneur. He founded Support the Youth, a community interest company based in Blackpool, to assist young people not currently in education, employment or training (NEET). He challenges us to help support and empower future generations and give them the confidence to choose their own identity.   Join in the conversation online using #BeingtheStory
