I once wrote a song called ‘Where Do The Children Play?’ meaningful to many of us perhaps, but totally meaningless to the poor children of Palestine. They are just asking for a place to sleep, some food to eat, a night without fear of being bombed or losing their limbs, a chance to kiss their mothers goodnight without the threat of being dragged off to prison without charge, before the sun rises.

Do you know what your workforce knows and feels about the Menopause?
Our new Bloom Menofesto was developed to create a better understanding of the impact of menopause and to help demystify the topic and tackle the barriers women face in the workplace.
As a parent, you worry every day. But as I drove past my kids’ old primary school this morning I was so grateful that I never had to worry that they might be gunned down in their class rooms.
Our friends at @TheDigitalVoice sat down with Journalist, Broadcaster and age equality campaigner Nicky Clark to get her thoughts on using anger to create positive change, ahead of our The Red Mist event this week.
