Student Governor Changemaker Programme: Destination Conference
Thursday 26 June 2025
Burberry Headquarters, Horseferry House, London
From 11:30am – 4:30pm
.
Calling all Student Governors! Get ready for an unforgettable day on Thursday 26th June, as student governors from across the UK come together in the heart of London for a high-energy celebration of leadership, impact, and empowered changemaking!
We’re taking over Burberry’s iconic London headquarters for a jam-packed day of inspiration, insight and empowerment as we mark the first year of our Student Governor Changemaker Programme! If you’ve served as a student governor this year – this is your moment.
Over the past year, in partnership with Rockborn, we’ve been on a mission to equip student governors from across the UK with the tools to lead, and the voice to succeed. Through our range of invigorating bootcamps, dedicated skills development sessions, guest speakers and workshops, we’ve worked closely with you to bring out your inner leader, give you the confidence to speak your mind, share your thoughts, and take affirmative action to make positive change a reality in your college.
Now, it’s time to celebrate that journey together.
Our Destinations Conference is dedicated to bringing together young leaders from around the country, sharing what you’ve learnt, connecting with your peers, and celebrating with us the landmark first year of the first dedicated nationwide programme created specifically to provide Student Governors with the highest level of training and support. We’re also opening up this opportunity to invite along your Governance Professional to help celebrate your success!

What to expect:
This is your chance to reflect on how far you’ve come, the change you’ve led, and the skills you’ve built, while connecting with others who share your drive to make a difference in their colleges and communities.

Unloc’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Hayden Taylor said:
“What an amazing year it’s been. The Unloc team recognised that there was a severe lack of training and support for young people entering into their role as a Student Governor, being thrown in the deep end with little available to prepare them or show them how to be heard, how to engage with both students and professionals, and how to be empowered to make positive change in their college. “
“The Unloc Student Governor Changemaker Programme was born! As we celebrate our first year of the programme we’re inviting young people from colleges across the country to join us in London to mark our first year. It’s going to be a fun packed day with some truly inspirational guest speakers, we can’t wait to see you all there.”

Rockborn’s Company Director Peter Ryder said:
“Rockborn is so proud to be sponsoring the Unloc Student Governor Changemaker Programme. This past year has been such a huge success and we’ve loved being involved and watching young people develop and grow in real time as Student Governors. Each workshop and session has been eye-opening and impressive, and seeing the maturity that young people display in the programme’s supportive learning environment has been so rewarding. We hope to see you all at the Destinations Conference so we can celebrate this landmark achievement together!”
