We were the independent voice & leading membership organisation for the children, young people & families voluntary sector. Children England closed on 31/12/23
Children England is now closed, but we always said we wanted to close loudly and proudly - and today we can offer you our 5 episodes of Legacy Podcasts
We hope will resonate with the charities, children & families sector, fellow infrastructure bodies....

These podcasts are a must listen and so insightful. Thank you @Childrenengland@Kathy_CEO_CE for making them and sharing all of your learning and reflections in such challenging circumstances - genuine leadership, in action.
If you want to think / hear more (it's linked from that article too) here's the first episode of our Legacy Podcast series, looking at the evolving role, work and perspectives on Markets & Commissioning and their effect on charity/state relationships

"At a recent closure event for Children England (a small 80-year-old charity), its chief executive, Kathy Evans, described them as the mechanism whereby people’s ideas about how to improve the world are turned into action"

Terrible that @ChildrenEngland led by one of our brilliant founding members @Kathy_CEO_CE had to close, but wonderful that it is capturing its legacy through these podcasts. Do listen if you can.

Huge loss w Children England closing, but they’ve left an invaluable gift of learning opps through a short podcast series. Episode 1 on Markets & Commissioning for charities and their services. Fascinating discussion & highly relatable ⬇️
If you thought you'd miss @ChildrenEngland when we announced our closure, you might appreciate hearing our voices and learning now we're gone
Today we've released five podcasts on different topics, intended to share our thoughts, memories & learning with charity colleagues 👇👇
We really hope that there is food for thought and reflection in these podcasts for all the people and organisations who work so hard for social change, for children, and for charities
Feel free to cite, share, criticise & discuss them in any ways, and on any platforms, you want!

'Building a world fit for our children to live is no small feat. It requires radical visions that are brave enough to be worth mourning the loss of, and the tenacity and empathy to create the relationships and take the practical steps to start creating this hopeful world. '
