Huge congratulations to Hania and Habiba from The Halifax Academy for coming 3rd in the Solutions for the Planet Big Ideas competition with their brilliant ‘Maternal Minds’ project! 
Their idea to provide healthcare kits for pregnant women was thoughtful and powerful, and their presentation was equally impressive. 
This was a really special moment for me – seeing a school from my own constituency succeed, presenting the Barker Award in memory of my amazing teacher, the late Elaine Barker, and coming full circle after taking part in Solutions for the Planet myself as a student.
Well done to all the teams involved, and a huge thank you to the Big Ideas team for making it all happen. ![]()
