Great to see so many tributes to the hugely respected @SirRichardLeese After a quarter of a century as leader- his role in making Manchester the city it is today cannot be overstated and leaves a great legacy behind. He’ll be greatly missed in Manchester and across local govt!

"A job that's flexible around life, especially if you have a family. It would allow you to take time to pick up the kids. Employers need to look after people. Richard Branson said it: look after your staff and they look after you" 1/9

To make trips more affordable, schools can...
🪙 Cover costs/subsidise
👩‍👦‍👦Give sibling discounts
🗓️Offer flexible payment plans
↔️Space out events
✉️Publicise trips early on
🖼️Opt for cheaper/local trips
🎿Avoid hidden costs by lending out equipment and limiting spending money

It was great to see all of the work being being done by the Manchester Poverty Truth Commission @TruthPoverty #PovertyTruthMcr today and hearing from so many amazing people including @MMS_ethics and @charleskod of @cahn_gm. There's so much to learn from the way they work. 👍😷

@KatyRubinTO Hey Katy, you are so right! There are 4 or 5 PTC's bubbling away in Greater Manchester and many happening across the UK too. Check out @povertytruthnet for more info.

Today is the launch of Manchester’s @TruthPoverty Commission. Real change comes from harnessing the voices and energy of real people. ‘Bringing humanity back into the room’ - lots of recommendations for the city to crack on with. Together we can make a change #povertytruthmcr

Nothing about us without us #PovertyTruthMcr

[ManchesterPovertyTruth @TruthPoverty]

Nearly at the end. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, and especially to all the commissioners who brought their whole selves to the process #PovertyTruthMcr

[Rachel Gregory @rachcgreg]

One learning from #PovertyTruthMcr is the importance of trauma informed responses. 1/5 of the people we help @CAPuk tell us they experienced trauma in childhood. What does a trauma informed response in debt collection look like? Has anyone written anything about this?
