Hello We’ve been campaigning solidly for seven months. The fact that we are as far as we are is a testament to our community and beyond. We hate asking, but, unfortunately we can’t afford to underwrite the cost of all of this alone…we wish we could. Can you help? www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

The government has slashed funding for vital therapy for some of the most vulnerable children in England, causing enormous harm. The impact of the cuts are already being felt. Our survey data shows there is very real and very acute damage being done now. asgsfprotest.com/pcsurveyapri...

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social You want to be Deputy Leader of Labour but under your stewardship of the DfE you have cut a vital lifeline fund - the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund - for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in England. We have a question...

Our survey results were raised with the Minister for Children and Families in Parliament directly by Clive Jones. When will this government start seeing our children? When will they recognise their needs? When will they look to truly address those needs to the right level and at the right time?

The stark reality of the cuts to the ASGSF from: Key Finding 2 There has been an increase in school exclusions and a decrease in school engagement and attendance as a result of the cuts to the ASGSF…1/2

Of the 777 children and young adults represented in our survey, only 10 were felt by their parents or carers to have had their therapeutic needs met. 10.
