[MR @MarcusRashford]

I’m signing off with a feeling a pride tonight. The superstars of this nation lie in local communities. Even after taking the biggest hits you have wrapped your arms around your community to catch children as they fell. I really can’t thank you enough, you’re amazing ♥️

[Voices of Youth @voicesofyouth]

❌🛑 Racism, homophobia, anti-semitism...

Unfortunately, the history of the world has seen too many crimes of hate and discrimination. But this doesn’t have to be the reality we live with.

You have a role to play, too https://t.co/0hvnNDVAyH

@MistaGoode @YouthViolenceUK In case you ain't seen these recommendations, @ShaunBaileyUK, they're below.
All based on both research evidence and lived experience. All cheaper than continued cost of violence. All more cost-effective than the punitive, reactive approaches currently adopted in this country.

We love your work & endless passion @1JamalKhan
Shining hope and inspiration ✨

[Winston Goode @MistaGoode]

Imagine if we all spent more time shouting ‘you’re within reach’ instead of ‘hard to reach’ and throwing labels at young people (we’re all guilty)... all those in youth work won’t reach every young person but the most important thing is we don’t give up on them either!

[Southwark Peace Garden @PeaceSouthwark]

absolutely!! "thank you, young people, for everything" 😁

[Redthread @Redthreadyouth]

A really valuable resource written by young people, for young people.

Check out the latest coronavirus guidance put together by @iwill_campaign ambassadors and @NHSYouthForum members👇

[Just for Kids Law @Justforkidslaw]

It is incredibly important for children and young people to understand their rights and what to expect if they are stopped by the police. Our short film for young people explains #stopandsearch, when you can be searched, and what makes a search unlawful. https://t.co/5RxGL8JPof

[Juvenis @Juvenis]

Interesting conversations with the team today about #Loneliness and young people, please remember some are happy to spend time alone whilst others maybe part of a large social network; but still feel lonely and isolated especially during this outbreak. #ReConnect

[Blueprint for All @BlueprintForAll]

At this unprecedented time, we are all facing challenges, but #StephenlawrenceDay reminds us that we are one community, and we are strongest when we support each other. #LiveOurBestLife #BecauseOfStephen

[Black Ticket Project @BTProject_]

Today we celebrate the life of Stephen Lawrence - a young, budding architect from South London who was tragically killed in a racist attack 27 years ago today.

We will never forget. #StephenLawrenceDay #BecauseOfStephen #SLDay

[Ben Lindsay OBE @benlindsayOBE]

“It is young black men who are dying and by the way it is young black men who are doing the killing”

This is a dangerous narrative without context and without exploring other factors contributing to the problem. LDN is not the rest of the UK. This is not simply a black issue.

[Southwark Peace Garden @PeaceSouthwark]

An interesting reflection on the origins of our home and host #Clubland #WalworthMethodistChurch
