schools across London to bring a message of hope to young people, which encourages them to make a difference in the world they live in. We have assembled a fantastic team of speakers on the day combining top leaders in business, politics, community service, sports, music and media. The day also includes live music, short films, as well as question and answer sessions between your students and speakers.
The iCare Conference is designed to be both inspirational and practical. Each of the speakers will each be given a 20-minute slot, designed to inspire the young people to reach their full potential, through sharing the highs and lows of their personal journey to becoming the success they are today.

Testimonials
I’ll speak on behalf of everyone, I think it benefited all. It was an amazing day and we should do more things like this. It inspired me so much, it has changed the way I am going to approach life and think about situations, and nothing is hard or not achievable. There is always someone who has had a 10000 times worse problems and they still found a situation to get through. I have started to think, I know I will get there, because I have that drive and passion to keep going...no more fighting. More reading, more improving on grades, and CHARITY! Hard work! Determination! Motivation! Passion! Self motivation!

By the time we came out of the world's best venue, we felt that we really could make an impact on the world we live in, no matter how bad the situation.
Student - Greenshaw High School
I learnt that education, positive people and to have ‘PASSION’ can get you far…. anything can be achieved if I work hard. I need to be around positive people. And not to follow in anyone’s footsteps accept for my own.
Student - Islington Law School
Thanks again for organising the day you have all out done yourselves and have set a new and exciting (hopefully annual) feature to our school calendars. The whole day was very enjoyable and also inspiring. The fact that the day was at such a high-profile venue made the whole experience more exciting from the word go.
Noel - Teacher - Finchley Catholic High School
All of my students came away inspired, one of them even contacted Rob that very evening to thank him in person…The big personality of Levi Roots really kicked the day off well, then Rob showed that you can make it big without shouting, inspiring the less confident students.
