Happy #VolunteersWeek 🎉Thank you to the thousands of volunteers who support The Children's Society. For over 140 years, we've supported the most vulnerable children in the country, and our volunteers are central to that. 💛 @NCVO#Volunteer
BLOG: Under the Illegal Migration Act, children or young people who arrive in the UK will be locked out of claiming asylum and denied the protection and support they need. Here's what that means for children and young people seeking safety: https://t.co/cKBVi5LQTu
It was a privilege tonight to join the London Society of Chartered Accountants for their annual dinner, and delighted that the President @HoneyBeaDHU (and our Trustee) chose @childrensociety as her charity! I was thrilled to give a speech about our work!
📈 There has been a rise in children and young people showing signs of agoraphobia following the pandemic. We take a closer look at the causes, symptoms and ways to help. https://t.co/Am41EZYAOs
The Government’s Illegal Migration Bill doesn’t represent us or the society we all want to live in.
We’ve joined with hundreds of organisations with a clear message: We will always fight for people's right to seek safety and to be protected.
Today top UK children’s charities have joined 150+ organisations to condemn this Government’s plan to lock up refugee children.
These plans would cause unimaginable levels of harm.
We must #StopChildDetention🧸

Two classrooms of children could be locked up in prison-like conditions every day under the Government’s proposed Bill.
We believe children belong in classrooms📚, not detention centres 🚫

The theme for #RefugeeWeek this year is compassion. We asked our Youth-Led Commission for Separated Children what compassion means to them💭

Our final throwback to end our celebration of volunteers over the years! Here's a fabulous image of two ladies having fun at an autumn market in Bexhill in the1980s. ⚽📸 #VolunteersWeek
We believe that the new national statistics regarding the number of school children that are #YoungCarers are misrepresentative - with many young carers not being identified and therefore missing vital support. Read our statement:
It’s @carersweek this week!! This year the theme is ‘Recognising and supporting carers in the community.’
It is so important that carers of all ages including #youngcarers are identified, supported and understand their rights.
This week is Carers Week.
Thank you to the carers all over the world. Don’t forget to care for yourself when you are caring for others.
You need help and support too.

✨ It's the last day of #NationalVolunteersWeek - so an extra big thank you to our @childrensociety
volunteers out in their communities. Here's a message from the Community Team! ✨
The Government committed to end child immigration detention in 2010 and put it into law.
Now they’re proposing to bring it back - any child who arrives in the UK will be detained, locked out of claiming asylum, and denied the protection/safety they need. #IllegalMigrationBill
