I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

VERY excited for The Celebrity Traitors. However, it looks like the final clashes with my wedding. What’s the etiquette for interrupting your day so you and your guests can watch the final? 🤔 #CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUk www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Top day in Nottingham for our Trustee Away. Hearing all about @childrenssociety.bsky.social services in the local area and thinking about how we frame our work to get more support !

Children’s wellbeing and happiness is the greatest marker of a successful society. Yet, we don’t measure it. A national wellbeing measurement would ensure young people’s experiences are understood and their concerns addressed. Sign here if you agree: ow.ly/vbvG50WLXXK

🚨Vital conversations about violence against women and girls (VAWG) are being hijacked by an anti-migrant agenda. We're proud to join 200 organisations in urging the Government to address this dangerous weaponisation of VAWG. A link to a news story is here: www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Today I have been with our @childrenssociety.bsky.social Central Bedfordshire team at our Biggleswade Youth Centre. I loved being a Youth Worker for the day - there really wasn’t a dull moment moment! A great way to end the week.

It was a privilege to be on The One Show on BBC1 tonight to talk about why we @childrenssociety.bsky.social will keep campaigning to cut the cost of school uniform further It shouldn’t break the bank to send your child to school

🚨TONIGHT ON BBC ONE 🚨 For some families, school uniforms are totally unaffordable. And worse still, children are wrongly being penalised as a result. Expensive uniform shouldn’t stand in the way of education. Tune in at 7pm to watch @markrusselluk.bsky.social on #TheOneShow 📺

I had an incredible day with colleagues from our local @childrenssociety.bsky.social team at Cheltenham’s Party in the Park. Organised by ‘No Child Left Behind’, the event is part of the the organisation’s Year of Youth Action. We are very proud to be one of many partners who made today a reality.

The Children’s Society is proud to engage young people at the highest level of our work since 2000 💫 One Young Trustee, aged 23, said: “Having the young trustees is a constant reminder that this is what we are fighting for.”

It was good to meet with Liz Twist MP in Gateshead today to talk about the @childrenssociety.bsky.social’s work in the local area.

"It’s so important that we reframe child financial exploitation as a child protection issue not a prosecution issue" Watch our Director of Young People's Services, @nickcookuk.bsky.social, discuss the often hidden harm of financial exploitation: www.channel4.com/news/childre...

The research, along with the accompanying Youth Insights report, was highlighted in print editions in the Daily Mail, The I Newspaper and The Independent. As well as @nickcookuk.bsky.social giving interviews for Sky News (link below from 3:25:25) and Channel 4: www.channel4.com/news/childre...

Check out @childrenssociety.bsky.social's @nickcookuk.bsky.social highlighting the risks of child financial exploitation

Nick Cook from the Children's Society, tells Jackie Long that young people must be encouraged to "speak out for support", after a new report shows thousands of under 21-year-olds are being exploited by gangs to launder money. Read and watch here:

Great to see @nickcookuk.bsky.social on @channel4news.bsky.social last night sharing @childrenssociety.bsky.social perspectives on child financial exploitation - so important to be raising awareness of rising incidents and how we can help

This is very good news - but Family Hubs must be properly funded to reach all ages and all needs.

Very proud to be with my @childrenssociety.bsky.social colleagues yesterday and be part of the @prideinlondon.bsky.social parade 🌈 An incredible day full of love, laughter and and support.

🚨New blog: Learning about youth power on the Involving Young People Collective🚨 In our latest blog, Gemma Moore, a member of Esmée’s Involving Young People Collective, reflects on her three years as a consultant. 🔗 Read more about Gemma's journey: esmeefairbairn.org.uk/latest-news/...

Young people's voices are at the very heart of our work. We worked with partners at @oasisuk.bsky.social to explore the importance of youth voice. Young people share how it has helped them to feel heard and eager to affect change. Watch the film: www.childrenssociety.org.uk/what-we-do/b...

Best festival in the world, no others can compete, this weekend or any other! #youngcarersfestival #ycf2025

So good to join 850 Young Carers for the largest gathering of Young Carers in the world! @childrenssociety.bsky.social working with our pals YMCA to put on the 25th #YoungCarersFestival - A privilege to be with such an amazing group of young people #YCF2025 (Looking fab @nickcookuk.bsky.social )

Today is the start of our #LookCloser week of action which we are marking with the launch of our new guide to support professionals in building positive relationships with children and young people. Access the guide and learn how you can get involved here: bit.ly/44TDtcz

We're proud to support young carers at services across the country, including dedicated services in Plymouth, Camden & Islington, as well as our national projects. This #CarersWeek, we’ve been meeting our team to discuss how we can continue responding to young carer’s needs ⭐

I joined our @childrenssociety.bsky.social team in Cheltenham yesterday for their Youth Voice event where over 40 young people came along to share their views about what they want to see in their community. Huge thanks to the team for organising an excellent event.

In response to the #SpendingReview, the Children’s Charities Coalition welcomes the vital investment in early help but said urgent reforms to children’s social care lack the necessary funding. More: ow.ly/Mryt50W7QEU @barnardos.org.uk @nspcc.bsky.social @actionforchildren.bsky.social @ncb.org.uk

An excellent and incredibly informative day with our fab @childrenssociety.bsky.social South West team. @nerys-a.bsky.social and I learnt so much and enjoyed hearint more about the impact we’re having with and for young people across Cornwall and Devon.

MPs are being asked to accept unprecedented cuts to disabled people’s incomes. @trusselluk.bsky.social analysis shows these cuts are likely to create more deep poverty and hardship than even the bleak forecast from the Government’s own limited assessments 🔽 www.the-independent.com/news/uk/poli....

Marking the end of #VolunteersWeek with a massive shout out to all our @childrenssociety.bsky.social volunteers who provide such incredible support to children and young people, and are the lifeblood of our charity shops.

I am speechless. This is discrimination - there should be immediate action to challenge this. As someone who is care experienced, I am appalled by these comments.

Great morning at the House of Lords hearing about new BBC CiN & @cfyounglives.bsky.social new report launch. Economic case made for ⬆️ support for young people - focused on youth work “Somewhere to go; something to do & someone to talk to” Ambitious for Young People With @nickcookuk.bsky.social

Now is the time to make child poverty strategy as ambitious as possible. All children should have a chance at childhood, and the opportunity to build the future they want. Send a message to the Chancellor today demanding investment in young people: everychild.childrenssociety.postbug.app

Since 1981 only a third of recommendations from reports commissioned by the @ukgovernment.bsky.social on racism have been implemented. This is not good enough. Pleased to see @theguardian.com leading with this story - as a country we must do more.

AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? "We take it as if the future has already been written; that there is an inevitable march to a superhuman replacement” An interesting article from BBC news - we still have the power to map the future of AI. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are disappointed at the delay to the child poverty strategy which the UK Government promised to publish in spring. Pushing this important work back will mean 20,000 more children will be dragged into poverty. 1/2

Children need a social care system which is safe, caring, and listens to them. We've been working with @actionforchildren.bsky.social @barnardos.org.uk @wearecoram.bsky.social @ncb.org.uk @nspcc.bsky.social & Become since 2022 to push for reform and ensure young voices are at the centre of change.

A privilege to be in Birmingham today to welcome @childrenssociety.bsky.social Royal President, HRH The Duchess of Gloucester to our Pause hub, which supports young people with their mental health. HRH also met colleagues supporting young people from across the West Mids @royalfamily.bsky.social

Do you work with children and young people? The Good Childhood Report has revealed a worrying decline in the wellbeing of children and young people. To help us better understand this striking trend, we are collecting the views of professionals: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

It’s been a long time in the making with @flipgeddes.bsky.social taking a lead role: but today we were delighted to kick off @childrenssociety.bsky.social Safeguarding Practice Week - our week of learning, development, service enhancement, peer support - all focussed on young peoples mental health

Today starts our Enhancing Safeguarding Practice week @childrenssociety.bsky.social - a week of special webinars and workshops for our colleagues to dip in and out of to improve their safeguarding learning. So grateful to @nerys-a.bsky.social and our amazing team for putting on such a great week

*VERY* excited for #eurovision tonight - we are party ready!

This is very good news 👇🏻 We want this in all schools for every child and young people. This step will ensure even more young people receive support from Mental Health Support Teams in schools.

Education and wellbeing go hand in hand. 'Very humbling' is how our Nick & Lauren described yesterday's Department For Education Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. A reminder of how vital education is in turning the tide on young people's wellbeing, especially with early support.
