We are proud to be part of the #AMillionActsOfHope campaign at @childrenssociety.bsky.social Watch this short video to hear some of the heart warming messages we’ve received

We @childrenssociety.bsky.social are THRILLED to have a show garden next week on Main Avenue at RHS #ChelseaFlowerShow So grateful to Project Giving Back for their support If you’re there come see us!!!! www.childrenssociety.org.uk/chelsea-flow...

A joy to be in Cheltenham to visit @childrenssociety.bsky.social youth centre and meet the team who are making such a difference to young people in the community. I was genuinely inspired by the team and the really creative open access youth work and detached youth work they’re leading.

I was really moved watching an interview with @sarahsackman.bsky.social who looked so worried as she talked about holding her children’s hands extra tight. All of us who want to live in a tolerant peaceful society need to stand with the Jewish community who are living in fear

Not only is running the marathon for @childrenssociety.bsky.social a motivating and inspiring experience - it can be utterly life changing too! Love that two of our runners got engaged on the @londonmarathon.bsky.social route www.oswestry.life/article/lond...

A privilege today to speak to the whole Year 9 cohort at Costello School in Basingstoke about my career, and our work at @childrenssociety.bsky.social Such a great group of young people! Always a joy to speak as part of @futuresforalluk.bsky.social

Sunday was the most amazing day as over 100 people ran the #LondonMarathon to raise awareness and funds for @childrenssociety.bsky.social work! They’re all heroes! Want to be a part of our marathon team in 2027? Applications are open!!!! www.childrenssociety.org.uk/how-you-can-...

@jamesbloodworth.bsky.social absolutely brilliant article in today’s Times. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability in sharing this.

Fantastic celebrations today marking ten amazing years of @childrenssociety.bsky.social Pause service in Birmingham with @markrusselluk.bsky.social & @nickcookuk.bsky.social

The Children’s Society’s Prevention Programme is offering free online training for hotel staff to help teams spot and prevent #ChildExploitation. Every hotel worker can make a difference - see our leaflet below for all available dates to book your place

It was a pleasure to be at All Saints Hertford last night for their Lent series, following after @joshdeanmp.bsky.social who spoke last week. It was good to talk about @childrenssociety.bsky.social vision for a society built for all children! Thank you @simongcutmore.bsky.social for the welcome!

We're pleased to share that Helen Cross will be representing us as an ambassador at RHS’s Chelsea Flower Show this year. A Scottish author, presenter, writer and children’s horticultural educator, she has witnessed first-hand how outdoor spaces provide sanctuary for young people🪴

If something doesn’t feel right, it might not be. This #ChildExploitationAwarenessDay, learn more about the signs of child exploitation to help victims get the support they need today. #LookCloser

Working together is the key to protecting children from exploitation. The Welsh Government published a written response to the criminal exploitation of children, including recognition of our collaboration to support young people affected by exploitation 💪💪 Read more: www.gov.wales/written-stat...

Young people forced into fraud are victims - not criminals. The government’s new fraud strategy is an opportunity to tackle this form of child exploitation, and we are proud to be able to contribute. We're working with the Home Office to expand support for children being financially exploited.

Change happens when we work together. That's why we're delighted to congratulate our CEO @markrusselluk.bsky.social on his appointment to the Government’s new Civil Society Council. Mark shared: “This new Council has the potential to be a step change in genuine partnership working”

As a teenager, Zack struggled with his mental health. He was taught that boys didn’t talk about their feelings, so he kept everything inside. When he got support at The Children’s Society, he finally found a safe space to open up. Read his story: https://ow.ly/yfFs50YpIOA

Ever been inspired by someone else’s litter? I was this morning - seeing @childrenssociety.bsky.social & Chicken Cottage partnership out in the wild I did my bit for #KeepBritainTidy and put it in a bin 🚮

Very proud of the energy from @childrenssociety.bsky.social team during #LookCloser week - raising awareness, sharing learning, empowering and amplifying young people’s voice & experience

📽️ Watch the video below to see the conversations that really matter. Together, we can make change happen. #LookCloser

So good to see @childrenssociety.bsky.social shop back on the map in Burnham-on-Sea - very much enjoying seeing our colleague Jim taking his ribbon cutting duty very seriously 🎀 www.burnham-on-sea.com/news/childre...

Right now there's no consistent children's wellbeing measure. This needs to change. Email your MP and ask them to support the campaign?📢✏️

I've emailed my MP urging them to contact the Minister for Education to introduce a National Wellbeing Measure for children. With the right insight, we can make better decisions for children and young people. Will you do the same? act.childrenssociety.org.uk/page/185876/...

Love this!!!

Yesterday the Bill to end the two-child limit begins making its way through Parliament. The policy drove child poverty to a record high, hurting young people. We commend the government's choice to scrap the two-child limit and join 65 other organisations in asking all MPs to support this Bill.

Today the Bill to end the 2-child benefit limit starts to move through Parliament: remove the benefit limit & we lift thousands of children out of poverty @childrenssociety.bsky.social @markrusselluk.bsky.social proud signatories calling MPs to support the Bill cpag.org.uk/news/stateme...

Over 4,000 people have already signed our petition urging the Government to introduce a National Wellbeing Measure, giving them the insight & data they need to make better decisions for young people. We’re nearing the finish line, add your name today and help give this campaign a final push!✏️

Great work from our pals Young Lives V Cancer who’ve campaigned for this. Families supporting a child with cancer is hard enough without stressing about the travel costs to treatment. This is great news for many families, thanks Wes Streeting for making it happen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Young people deserve timely mental health support. Wherever they live. But it's falling behind 🚨 The government committed to provide all schools with access to a Mental Health Support Team by 2029/30 But data suggests that the current rollout rate is simply too slow to reach this target.

Awesome today to spend time with some of the amazing people running @londonmarathon.bsky.social to raise funds for @childrenssociety.bsky.social A real privilege to tell them about the life changing work we do, and how their amazing efforts will make such a difference #LondonMarathon

Great to welcome Home Office Minister Lord Hanson to @childrenssociety.bsky.social to meet colleagues working to disrupt young people being financially exploited, and share our youth voice report. A good conversation on how government can do more to safeguard young people from this type of harm.

In this ep of the 'A Manifesto for Hope' podcast, @childrenssociety.bsky.social CEO, @markrusselluk.bsky.social, and Oasis Founder, @stevechalke.bsky.social, explore how we can take better care of children by harnessing the power of the volunteray sector. 🎧 Listen here: https://shorturl.at/kcYpm

Soooooo excited about this!!!!!!

This is amazing news to hear on our first day back!!! Huge congratulations our CEO @markrusselluk.bsky.social - who has been awarded an OBE in the King's New Year’s Honour’s list for services to charity🎉

The New Year Honours list, published on Monday evening, includes well-known churchpeople. Among them are the chief executive of @childrenssociety.bsky.social, @markrusselluk.bsky.social, and the LGBTQ+ campaigner Jayne Ozanne. #NewYearHonoursList

We would like to congratulate our CEO, @markrusselluk.bsky.social, who has been awarded an OBE in the King's New Year’s Honour’s list for services to charity. Huge congratulations Mark, and appreciation for all you do! From all of us at The Children's Society.

A real surprise to receive a letter a few weeks ago informing me that The King was awarding me an OBE for services to charity. It’s a privilege to work with so many awesome people @childrenssociety.bsky.social and this award honours their work as much as mine I’m so grateful and deeply moved

The #VAWGStrategy published today is a step towards addressing the horrifying scale of serious harm faced by women and girls. We know that early action is vital, so we are pleased to see a focus on child sexual abuse and exploitation and the prioritisation of education.

As Christmas is becoming a stressful time for young people, we launched a new installation across our retail stores. Wrapped gifts told what young people really want for Christmas this year: breathing space, less pressure, someone to confide in.

The National Youth Strategy is here! £500m+ investment, safe spaces, stronger mental health support - and a pledge that 500,000 children will have a trusted adult within 10 years.

The #ChildPovertyStrategy is now published!📢 But commitments mean nothing without delivery. We must turn these promises into concrete action: food on tables, stability at home and hope for every child.

The #TwoChildLimit is finally gone. This decision will pull 450,000 children out of poverty. After years of tireless campaigning, persistence has paid off. Thank you to our colleagues, partners & supporters who made this happen!

Today’s #Budget comes at a time when families are facing some of the hardest pressures. We warmly welcome today’s decision to lift the two-child limit. It is the right thing to do and represents a significant course correction towards our system working for every child.

Today is the 1st ever #TeenAppreciationDay "The day is a global celebration of appreciation/affirmation for teenagers everywhere" I love my own teens: I've got 2 + 1 waiting in the wings. I love working for teenagers across the UK @childrenssociety.bsky.social education-news.co.uk/2025/11/21/f...

Every day, 109 children are pushed into poverty because of the two-child limit. Children deserve a fair start in life. We are calling on the chancellor to scrap this unfair policy in the upcoming budget as part of the @endchildpoverty.bsky.social coalition 📣

Every child should feel free to choose their future without barriers. After our Lifting Limits programme, more girls believed they could be footballers, and more boys believed they could be teachers. To tackle gender bias at your school, email [email protected]

Inspiring visit with @markrusselluk.bsky.social to the WHU Foundation community hub in Beckton (The Foundry) - excellent to hear their vision, bringing variety, opportunity & aspiration to the local community. Thrilled @childrenssociety.bsky.social Time service in Newham is collaborating with WHU!
