Privilege to co chair Day 2 of Children In Scotland with Liam from the changing our world group. Great to connect with so many people, keynotes were outstanding and truly uplifting. 🙌 #GIRFEC #RIGHTS #ThePromise @childreninscotland.bsky.social @aberlourcharity.bsky.social

To kick off #FosterCareFortnight read our latest article in @sundaypost.com! Yesterday @lynneobrien.bsky.social and our first ever foster carers Shona and David shared the importance of #fostering and the need for more foster carers across Scotland: www.aberlour.org.uk/news-item/ch... #FCF25

In good company this morning. All set for #TheBiologyOfBelonging @aberlourcharity.bsky.social

We're concerned by UK GOV's announcement yesterday on disability & sickness benefits & the impact of proposed changes on children & families living with a disability. Government has a primary responsibility to do no harm: www.aberlour.org.uk/news-item/ab...

“The right action would save money” @moragtreanor.bsky.social presents what action we can take. @aberlourcharity.bsky.social @uofgpolicy.bsky.social

An insightful keynote speech from @uofglasgow.bsky.social’s Professor @moragtreanor.bsky.social. Today’s conference builds on research undertaken by @aberlourcharity.bsky.social with Morag into the connection between public debt and child poverty. 📸 Professor Morag Treanor

@moragtreanor.bsky.social sharing with conference how debt recovery is calculated. Complex and punitive, leaving many people in destitution. #EndPoverty #CompassionateDebtRecovery

@sallyannkelly1.bsky.social setting out the need for change. Engaging the conference in being a “coalition of the willing” and moving beyond “state harm” #Compassion #Hope #VoiceOfFamilies #EndPoverty

Looking forward to a great day. Fabulous to see so many people here. We can and must do debt differently. We can help to end child poverty @aberlourcharity.bsky.social @uofgpolicy.bsky.social

One day until our #DebtAwarenessWeek Conference! Read more from @sallyannkelly1.bsky.social & @moragtreanor.bsky.social on how public debt is trapping families in poverty in @sundaypost.com#DebtAwarenessWeek https://www.aberlour.org.uk/news-item/blog-council-tax-collectors-helping-trap-children-in-poverty

Spring vibes from yesterday morning and evening ☀️ 🦌🌅 Thankfully the stag went past without the dog noticing!

Last week I heard examples of 2 LAs take very different approaches to families with rent arrears. 1 progressive and 1 not. Thankfully @aberlourcharity.bsky.social supported a good outcome Doing the right thing is possible AND makes sense on a human and economic level.

Not too long now! It’s been great to connect with people recently who are taking a compassionate and systems change approach to supporting families in debt. This conference is an opportunity to make change happen! #TacklingChildPoverty

Glasgow looking lovely in the sun this morning 😍 Off on a mini adventure after a fab week 😊 #GlasgowLookingGood #MiniAdventure
