If you're thinking of how to spread joy a little through these winter months there's no better way than donating to @GoldFSF and their Christmas Dinner for care leavers. Warm feelings guaranteed.

[The Gold from the Stone Foundation @GoldFSF]

It's #GivingTuesday and here at @GoldFSF we believe in the power of community. This December, let's come together and bring joy to young care leavers. Let's remind them that they are not alone, and give them a Christmas to remember.

Donate today- https://t.co/rUA0MSiWgm

[Jim Goddard @JimGoddard1]

As we again have a Labour government, I thought it would be good to review what the last Labour governments (1997-2010) did regarding children in care and care leavers. After that, we will have the usual general chat. If you are a care leaver of any age you are most welcome:
