@hopenothate just watched the film and am humbled and inspired by what you do. As a mixed race woman, your vital work is helping to create a society that is both safer and more optimistic. Thank you for all that you do. I’ve set up a DD to support your work.

We are delighted to be attending the event 'Shaping the new Ukraine: Delivering resilient recovery' today at @ChathamHouse, where we’ll be exploring how, through its recovery, Ukraine can create a child protection and care system that helps all children to thrive.

@TfL seriously unimpressed that Tony, a CSA at Cockfosters tube confiscated my 13 year old daughter’s travel card because she’d obscured her photo. Not cool when it’s dusk and she’s being forced to travel without proof of payment.

Delighted to meet Lord Dubs at ⁦⁦⁦@lumos⁩ parliamentary event on the impact of the conflict on Ukraine’s most vulnerable children. He spoke on a panel which also included presentations from our CEO Pete McDermott & the Ukraine Children’s Ombudsman

@jk_rowling Thanks @jk_rowling. I’m not a massive twitter user so didn’t immediately spot this RT - work alerted me! Thanks for all that you do & have done for vulnerable children. I’m delighted to support these efforts and put my shoulder to the wheel x

@lookfantastic Frankly I'd like my money back for the order I placed which was never delivered. I have tried 3x to secure a refund.

@BernardineEvari I’m late to the party having just finished reading Girl Woman Other. What to say other than it was an alchemical experience, wondrous, magical and perfect. Thank you for creating and sharing a world so complete, I felt I’d come home. What a gift.

@tdh_ch This looks great. Can’t wait to listen in

Today’s decision to merge @DFID_UK and @foreignoffice will have a significant and negative impact on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities. We urge the government to urgently reconsider this poor decision #SaveDFID

“It’s erasing history”?? You don’t need to worry, slavery fans - the murders, the abuse, the torture all happened. No one can take that away from you. Some people don’t want to celebrate it, that’s all.

@charlidamelio please can someone confirm ASAP whether the hoody I have bought for my daughter will be sent to me. I bought on 10 May and have heard nothing since

[Tricia Young @TriciaDYoung]

It’s totally depressing but not unsurprising that the UK Has plummeted from 11th to 170th place. https://t.co/dwwXklM0ca it achieved the lowest-possible score across all six available indicators in the domain of Child Rights Environment according to the KidsRights Index.
