Why should care experience be a protected characteristic? Well....children in care are still children. #changeiscoming

Very powerful experience this evening listening to care experienced young people.
They've created a draft manifesto for a future government - talking about the huge obstacles faced when you don't have a family safety net.
Look forward to continuing working with @Drive_Forward!
ALT Would you accept this for your own child? Manifesto on a table.

#TeamSPB 🇬🇧+🇮🇪 are joining forces on 18 April to embark on a 13-hour cycle challenge.
The mission? To collectively cycle the distance between each office, fundraising for their office charities.
Which office will pedal the farthest? Which will top the fundraising leaderboard?

With youth homelessness at an all-time high, the organisations behind the #PlanForThe136k coalition welcome the Government’s commitment to ending homelessness in all its forms but their response misses the urgency of the matter and it misses the point: bit.ly/4bO15nI
ALT So the Government responded to the petition: Create a National Strategy to End Youth Homelessness. But they completely miss the point... Sign for the 136k.
