Carmel was a passionate supporter of @FairFuturesIs - the impact the Commission is a fantastic legacy. She believed the most vulnerable kids could achieve amazing things. Carmel matched steel and competence with true compassion and love 3/5
The @FairFuturesIs Commission listened. The council and it's partners responded.

A huge thanks to @TheBIGAlliance, local businesses and schools who have worked together to create such an inspiring mentoring programme for the young people of #Islington!
What a week! My favourite buzz point: leading our Ideas Huddle with housing colleagues to tease out our approach for creatively involving young people in a future housing development. Our new Service Director for New Build was on a roll! Look forward to working with a great team.
@MoneySupermkt crowns Bath as the best UK city to grow up. London described as one of the least family-friendly due to house prices. Working with children, young people & families to co-design how to make where they live the best place to grow up will always matter.
We’re here at the joint APPG on #knifecrime and youth services. Hard hitting contributions from young people about how when they needed help, there was nobody to turn to.
A big thanks to all of the young people who came along to our launch last night, over 100! A movement has started in Hackney of young people working together to make positive changes for our community get involved by going to https://t.co/i0dRTyZJIb and get your voice heard!
Music Education Islington. A pioneering partnership between @IslingtonBC & @BarbicanCentre will deliver music education to every child and young person in Islington. We are proudly delivering the recommendations of the @FairFuturesIs and making sure all our young people thrive
A wonderful performance just now at @IslingtonBC Music Education Launch. A key contribution to a fairer future for children and young people - including their social and emotional development.
Thank you @dbornat
It's fair to say that even your own organisation & sector are doing what they can to work directly with young people to learn, grow and shape their lives.
We’re welcoming 200 Islington head teachers, governors and leaders of cultural organisations to @KingsPlace this morning to launch our exciting new initiative #11by11
Today marks exactly once year since @FairFuturesIs released 'A future for us' report! It sets out recommendations so that every child and young person can reach their full potential despite their background!
