Project 2,999 on tour of England to support local areas in preventing preventable exclusion. Seeing young people with the blanket and talking about their experiences was, as always the highlight of my week. #youthmatters2025 Thank you to the Council for Disabled Children 🙂

This is the first time since October I haven't had to get up and crochet 💓. Incredible efforts from the pullupachair team to raise the visibility of exclusion from school.
