We had the incredible opportunity to attend the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey, joining representatives from all 56 nations, and even members of the Royal Family, to celebrate the theme Accelerating Partnership: A Connected Commonwealth. We heard inspiring words from Geri Halliwell‑Horner about empowering girls and women through education, creativity, and community. The service featured stunning performances, from Bollywood‑ballet fusion to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and R&B artist Indigo Marshall. We felt truly privileged, especially as we ended the day by meeting the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Dame Susan Langley.
