[Paul Rees. ex Rucksack. @HannahIamthest1]

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before.

If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from Father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early, you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Saw this & thought I'd repost.

This woman should be the Time person of the year I'm not kidding.

We stand in solidarity with Gisèle Pelicot.
Her powerful words and courage on behalf of other survivors to change the narrative is nothing short of admirable.

@Teacherglitter Well done you xxxx

[Refuge @RefugeCharity]

Abusers often hide their true colours in public. Just because he was nice to you doesn’t mean he isn’t abusive behind closed doors.

1 in 4 women will experience abuse in their lifetime. Listen to survivors. Believe women.

Places where kids eat free (or for £1) during May half-term. Worth a share.
