I’ll break my silence here to promote this very worthy project. It gives Christmas Joy to care experienced and estranged students. Please donate and/or share if you can.

Afraid this is your warning that Christmas season is officially in full swing. Give the gift of Christmas joy, if you can

Utterly love this fostering advert from @MyDoncaster. Does it all in the right way, appeals to the core of what makes a good foster carer. Bravo.

I was looked after under a section 20 (voluntary arrangement). It would have been dangerous for me to return home.

Currently in a hospital ward with some old blokes (who are all nice enough). Old people are wild though.
One just watches snooker on his iPad with the sound through the speaker like some kind of psycho.
Guy in bed next to me? 20 minute call to his wife on speakerphone.

The plan for Friday at 3pm: date night, eat duck, drink wine.
How Friday actually turned out: 8 hours in A&E, exploratory surgery for suspected appendicitis (it wasn’t) and morphine.
1/10 do not recommend.

Lucy just utterly smashing this lawyer lark.
🚨Only 4 months old & @lawyerswhocare_ have got care-experienced people on the map in law! Both the @barstandards and @thebarcouncil are now recognising care experience for the first time! 🥹
Was an honour to meet Kathryn Stone OBE & discuss what we can do for #CEP #inclusion ⚖️

Really love that Helen has raised this.
There is an evidence base behind the work of @ThisIsUniteFdn to show it is effective. Safe and stable homes make a world of difference.
The university drop out rate for care experienced students is unacceptably high (38% compared with 6% of their peers)
As students arrive at university this week, I asked Education Ministers to ensure there is consistent support for care experienced students in every university >

In today’s “places where a protected characteristic for care experienced people would make a material difference”. This document, its constant use of parents/family, and its consideration of protected characteristics.

Not gonna lie @whocaresscot getting @PureGym to give half price membership to care experienced people might be about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
