Portialee 
Mentoring Only Scholarship Winner 2020/21

The mentoring session with Miranda was very insightful.
She gave pragmatic advice about how to improve my CV based on her expertise, as well as practical steps to prepare for the working world after university. I am thankful that Miranda took the time to analyse my CV in-depth, alongside encouraging me throughout the session. I now feel more confident to excel as a student outside of the university setting.

I was fortunate enough to win the Multi-Sector award in 2018, and since feel part of a truly inspiring and loving family. I've spoken at the Foundation award ceremony, and project managed the summer party at Speaker's House in UK Parliament. My work experience was with Lambeth Council and my mentor gave me great support.

The Scholarship provides vital mentoring, work experience and funding to assist our future leaders, whilst the Miranda Brawn Diversity Leadership Lectures provides an opportunity for the next generation to be more informed about diversity and play their part in closing the diversity gap.

Matthew Ryder QC, Former Deputy Mayor For Social Integration, Social Mobility And Community Engagement

Achieving more diversity amongst London’s workforce at all levels and across all sectors is one of the top priorities of both myself and the Mayor. The lecture at which the Miranda Brawn Diversity Leadership Scholarships will be awarded is a valuable contribution towards highlighting the importance of diversity - including, in particular, race diversity - within the UK workforce.
