A case study by Charlotte Smith, Youth Social Action Apprentice at Long Road Sixth Form College, Luton Sixth Form College and Cambridge Regional College.

Since November 2023, Long Road Sixth Form College, have been heavily involved with Cambridge Citizens, the newest chapter of Citizens UK, a broad-based community organising group bringing together schools,
