We did it team! We wrote a book!
I’m slightly biased, but it’s an awesome book if you ask me. It’s our message to the young people to learn about, understand, and fight for your rights
Can’t believe we got here more than a year after our late night conversation in Geneva
Our Young Wales volunteers helped write & create the @ChildreninWales 30th anniversary book which is being unveiled tomorrow at the Senedd! 📖
Listen to their experiences developing the book here:

The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most ratified human rights treaty in history.
Yet around the world, we see increasing push back on those rights.
Now is the moment for the global community to come together to uphold the rights #ForEveryChild.
#HumanRightsDay
This #HumanRightsDay, why not check out our 30th anniversary book, co-produced by our very own young volunteers! 📖 #UNCRC
Children's rights are a fundamental part of human rights & this book was designed to educate children & young people about the rights they’re entitled to. 💪
Everyone should be aware of their Human Rights & have the ability to claim them. We hope this book educates & empowers children & young people to fulfil their rights.
Article 12 all the way! 📢

Following the passing of Cllr Jane Henshaw, members of Splott Labour Party came together tonight to select our candidate for the by-election.
Delighted to announce that local mum Angharad Anderson - @madebyanny, Jane's daughter, has been selected as the @WelshLabour candidate.
Our Young Advisors were delighted to participate in a focus group with our project learning partner @Beatfreeks. The focus group discussed how we as an organisation captures and amplifies youth voice from the young people across our programmes.
Thank you Beatfreeks!💙
Ahead of #YouthWorkWeek we’re asking young people to help us to celebrate the theme of ‘A right to youth work for all’ by creating an artwork that celebrates their youth club
