The Intersect
The Intersect is an exciting podcast powered by the Mayor’s Fund for London, a charity that champions opportunities for young Londoners facing the biggest barriers.
We are powered by young people: their insights, views, and dreams for London. Our driving ambition is for all young Londoners to have a real say in how our city is run both now and in the future – and that begins with us.
Produced by the Mayor's Fund for London Youth Board.
