@WardellR Thank you @WardellR for sharing. If possible, could you share some highlights of the “answers” suggested from the room. Mindful of the experience, knowledge and passion in the audience… would be great to hear.

Happy birthday to our founder, Dr Thomas Barnardo, born this day 178 years ago!

Without his determination to support children sleeping on the streets of Victorian London by providing food, shelter, education & opportunities for the future, our charity wouldn't exist.

"I feel a weight of responsibility to set an example. But, also to bring everything that it is for me as a female leader into that space."

“It’s more than a crisis, it’s a tragedy.” Mark Shears from @high_close school here in @BarnardosSE describing how we are supporting children and their families impacted by the Cost of Living Crisis. Read more here about @barnardos support for families https://t.co/KGUqcHG81B

“It’s more than a crisis, it’s a tragedy.” - Mark Shears, High Close School Principal.

One in five parents say they struggled to provide sufficient food due to the cost-of-living crisis.

[Lynn Perry MBE @lynnanneperry]

The human and financial impact of early support for families in place based services is clear - an additional 75 family hubs is welcome and the case to go further still is already well made.

[Emma Bowman @Em_Bowman]
