Honouring our William Sutton Prize scholars

"The LNS scholarship would transform my student experience, easing financial pressures so I can fully immerse myself in my architecture degree. Mentorship would provide valuable insight into the profession, while work experience would connect me with industry experts and broaden my understanding of different practices.

Funding for materials and study trips would expand my skills and expose me to global perspectives, enriching my emerging practice. Kennington Park is a meaningful third space for me. Once a childhood playground, it is now where I reflect, write poetry, and connect with nature. It fosters wellbeing, activity, and community for all.”

“My commitment to sustainability is grounded in people. At Cambridge, I will study Human, Social, and Political Sciences, focusing on how environmental challenges reflect social and economic inequalities.

From UK families in poorly insulated homes to communities in the Global South displaced by climate disasters, the injustice is clear. During an internship at PA Consulting, I worked on housing and sustainability for Kent County Council, proposing policies to reduce energy poverty.

As Head of Communications at HomoEconomicus, I’ve led work on clean energy and housing retrofits. With Clarion’s support, I would co-create a youth-led project with social housing residents, exploring sustainability in daily life.”

“My passion for the environment and sustainability began after I joined my school’s eco club, subsequently spending my Monday afternoons engaging in activities like litterpicking, planting and organising events centered around environmental education.

Furthering my passion, whilst being part of the Garsdale Steering Group, I worked on a specific site in the Yorkshire Dales, introducing new wildlife there and regenerating once-lost land.

My most recent endeavour is being a youth trustee of the charity Action for Conservation (AFC). This organisation works with young people to help encourage environmental sustainability - it's a cause I’m proud to be a part of.”
