Mike from Lads Like Us Inspires at Trust Launch

At the official launch of Ambition Community Trust on 22nd April 2025, held at the iconic Lancashire Cricket Club, we were honoured to welcome Mike from Lads Like Us as a guest speaker.

Mike delivered a powerful and passionate speech, drawing on his own lived experience and sharing how childhood trauma shaped his journey. His honesty, vulnerability and clarity left a lasting impression on everyone in the room.

Central to Mike’s message was the urgent need for professionals to truly understand the impact of trauma on children and young people. His mission is clear: to train one million professionals to better support and respond to the needs of those affected by trauma.

At Ambition Community Trust, we share this vision. We are committed to creating inclusive, relational, and trauma-informed environments where every child can thrive — and we were deeply inspired by Mike’s call to action.

Mike’s contribution to our launch event set the tone for the work ahead — rooted in compassion, shaped by experience, and driven by a shared belief that no child should be left behind.
