Jonathan has always strived to uphold the dignity of his fellow students and committed to helping others know that they can make a difference. He is a dedicated campaigner, raising awareness of youth mental health issues as well as building youth involvement in democracy. He helped young people of Bolton realise they can be part of the solution to the challenges of job opportunities and poverty. Humour is key to Jonathan’s work - he even compered an annual charity concert from inside a recycling bin! His teacher says, “Jonathan is a real role model in every sense of the word. His leadership has encouraged many others to get involved.”
