Monty Lord

● A multi award-winning change maker, social entrepreneur and researcher dedicated to challenging injustices through the use of law ● Sometimes there's a need to use the law, taking legal action and involving oneself with social action projects to bring about positive changes in society. This is one of the reasons why I’m inclined to study Law. As a world memory champion, I’m also the youngest in the UK with the most world records, holding 5 Guinness World Records for world memory challenges. An accomplished public speaker, I’ve spoken at a TEDx talks event and at the age of 14, presented my 55,000-word thesis to CAMHS.Digital and University of Manchester Psychology staff. I later presented to world leaders at the United Nations in Geneva and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Mentoring. I engaged thousands of children across several schools in my ground-breaking research and was recognised with the Prime Minister’s Points of Lights Award, the Diana Award & the British Citizen Youth Award for services to the community & charity. At the age of 14, I founded the UK registered charity Young Active Minds to inspire new, fun & effective learning activities using my memory techniques. I’m now a charity trustee. This aims to promote education & mental health awareness throughout all schools & community groups, irrespective of current attainment levels or cultural diversity of the students. I founded Young Legal Eagles Ltd, a private limited company, to promote the rights, views and interests of children and young people (CYP) and the Rule of Law in policies or decisions affecting their lives. I enjoy writing. At the age of 7, I became the UK’s youngest bestselling author with my fictional novel. I’m currently writing ‘The Art of War in the 21st Century,’ a modern-day interpretation of Sun Tzu’s 5th century BC military treatise. Alongside academic studies, I am seeking opportunities in the legal sector, charity sector, public affairs and broadcast journalism. I greatly value the opportunity to learn from others and am always keen to hear from new people. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to discuss areas of collaboration or would like me to advise on an upcoming project. The national media has reported upon many of my projects over the last few years, with widespread coverage on BBC & ITV News, radio and both broadsheet & tabloid newspapers. ● Named in The Independent newspaper (The Happy List 20/21) as in the top 50 inspirational people driving positive change in Britain ●
