Passionate about creating a fair and peaceful world by breaking the cycles of family violence that leave our children on the margins. My views are my own.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Making sure every child grows up in a safe and loving family environment is personal to me.

It is great to be working with @BarryKeoghan on reforming children’s social care around the world.

Great day yesterday at the @dasra India philanthropy forum. Always a pleasure to be with you @iammuwa and what a pleasure to meet @GurinderC you are inspirational let’s hope we planted a seed for your next project!

[Pete Kent @PeteKent74]

Amongst all the noise here at home, our team in Tanzania keep going; so proud of you all over there @RCEastAfrica thank you to the wonderful @childsi @RailwayChildren

[Railway Children Africa @RCEastAfrica]

We were pleased to meet with Minister Dr. Dorothy Gwajima, Dr. Nandera Ernest Mhando and Ms. Zaka Siaty to support the Department of Social Welfare in its ongoing efforts to reform the childcare system.

Blog about how we have been supporting kinship carers. Fantastic work from @FFEveryChild developing the international guidelines on kinship care

[Railway Children @RailwayChildren]

✏️ In our latest blog, @PeteKent74, our Programme Development Director, looks at the benefits of #KinshipCare and how it can help to strengthen the safety net for vulnerable children around the world.

How is this still allowed… surely given this is just a plain old front page lie. There should be charges for inciting hatred…? 🤔

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Daily Mail:
"Poppy Seller punched by protesters"

British Transport Police:
"Detectives have extensively monitored CCTV & spoken with key identified witnesses…there is insufficient evidence to take the investigation further.
We have no reason to believe that poppy sellers are at any risk or being intentionally targeted"

Let's look forward to the Daily Mail making a correction.... oh hang on....

[Pete Kent @PeteKent74]

It really is quite shocking that this woman is still in power; or even got in to that position in the first place. #notmyhomesecretary https://t.co/8r8cBEiDRA

Always especially proud of the work we do in Tanzania…

[Railway Children Africa @RCEastAfrica]

Every child deserves love and compassion – and that's exactly what our street workers provide💚

‘My child was murdered by these monsters..I don't want vengeance in my name’

Michal Halev’s 20 y/o son La’or was at the music festival. There was evidence he was taken by Hamas to Gaza, alive

Now she has been told her only child was killed

So proud of our work, and our teams over in Tanzania doing the fantastic work they do. This is the story of just one of the thousands of young people we’ve helped. #DayOfTheGirl #EndViolenceAgainstWomen

[Railway Children Africa @RCEastAfrica]

This #DayOfTheGirl let's spotlight the resilience & potential of girls like Kibibi*. Despite facing immense challenges, her story is one of hope & transformation, thanks to you. Together we can help girls dream big, achieve their potential & build a fairer world 💖

Good to listen to @lisanandy at the lab conference side event today. I’m sure a lab Gov will deliver more for international development but still no pledge to 0.7%. Some discussion about the contradictions between growth and climate security but nowhere near enough for my liking

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

The last @UKLabour government was a light on the hill for people at home and overseas.

The next Labour government will be the same 🌹

Oh deary deary me

[LBC @LBC]

'Who put this together? Was this a primary school project?'

@NickFerrariLBC can't help but chuckle as he lists a series of errors with Rishi Sunak's 'masterstroke' Network North plans, days after the PM scrapped HS2's northern leg...

[Pete Kent @PeteKent74]

https://t.co/WO32jCfJke Bold move from the Kenyan government good to see they've put an 8 year timeframe on this. We want to see children in families not orphanages, but we don't want to see children kicked on the streets! Well done Kenya. @RailwayChildren @CareReformTz

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Call it like you see it, Suella! 😂

[Pete Kent @PeteKent74]

Fascinating time at the 2023 ISPCAN conference. Thanks @KateMcalpine for coming to look at our poster @RailwayChildren @RCEastAfrica It’s encouraging to spend time with so many like minded people striving to end child abuse #ispcanedinburgh #riseuptoendchildabuse

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals
