Such a pleasure to meet you and so grateful for funders like @Benefacttrust who really want to understand what life is like for the families we are working alongside and how they can support us to do more of it ❤️
Such a pleasure to meet @KatOsborn77 @SafeFamilies, funded by @Benefacttrust . Working with volunteers to help churches to address growing isolation felt by families the charity has reduced the number of children going into care by between 9 and 16%. An amazing achievement. 👏👏
Almost 4 years of dreaming and doing with this team now about how @SafeFamiliesUK can help families find belonging and help release the potential of the church.
What a joy to journey and grow together 💙

Love this article from @natwillnatter in @Christianitymag sharing such important truth with her usual honesty and real-ness (probs not a word but accurate!)
"My first lesson in leadership is one I’ve been learning over and over again: God chooses unlikely leaders, and this is good. It’s not just good, it’s beautiful and kind. He raises up the lowly... and he delights to do it." https://t.co/rcuQBRwckV @natwillnatter@Christianitym…
This editorial is all too real.
“If smaller charities are forced to close, or bigger charities withdraw from delivering services that are no longer financially viable, the most immediate and publicly visible outcome will be more destitution.”

How do we move beyond projects (meeting immediate physical needs), to address a fundamental need for love and belonging? Hear @KatOsborn77@SafeFamiliesUK introduce the theme to her seminar, as well as some of her personal backstory on the pod ➡️ https://t.co/179h3RdkIN
@JubileePlus We are trying to shift to asking families what would be most helpful - toys, vouchers, Christmas dinner, help with energy bills - and then linking with churches so that the gifts meet the needs people have expressed…. still journeying getting this right
.@KatOsborn77 boldly going for “speaker of the day” by throwing out sweets and chocolate in her seminar, making points about belonging and proximity. #CTCC22@SafeFamiliesUK
A few thoughts on Belonging from @MatthewAJones inspired by the John Lewis add. Excited to be sharing more on this theme at the @JubileePlus CTCC conference this Saturday ❤️ #nooneshouldfeelalone
