30,000 killed. 1.8 million displaced. Thousands of children starving slowly to death. That is the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
This is not the time for equivocation. This is the time for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
It is crucial to write to your MP now to call for a ceasefire, tomorrow MP’s will vote on a call for immediate ceasefire, make sure yours is voting for it.

@benbastin@TheNewmanTrust Hi Ben- I’m the organiser for this holiday but don’t have access to the Twitter account, so if you’re able to please either message me on here (it won’t let me message you) or email at [email protected] that would be wonderful! Thank you so much.
One of our holidays is searching for a venue!
We are looking for a residential school/facility to hire, in or around London and the South.
It's for a group of wonderful children and volunteers on a week-long respite holiday in summer 2024.
Can you help? Please let us know! 💙💛
THANK YOU to all who helped us run 7 wonderful Newman Trust holidays around the country this summer!
Holiday organisers, nurses, volunteer helpers, exec committee, trustees, host venues, families, carers, referrers, coach drivers, magicians... and last but not least the CHILDREN!
What's it like to volunteer for the Newman Holiday Trust?
This video gives you an idea of what it's like before the children arrive. (Of course, when they do arrive, that's when the fun really begins!)
We want new volunteers! Find out more and apply here: https://t.co/VqIjQ1KrDo
Looking for freelance disabled content creators, interested in working with us at Purple Goat to document our journey, please share social handles of potential talent in comments or DM me 💜
Many people with disabilities do not like these empathy exercises or hubs because it's like wearing a costume ... it's temporary ... https://t.co/SJQ9r6Rjem
What do y'all think?
#DisabilityTwitter
I think a lot about how, as a (undiagnosed neurodivergent) child, I was generally content & comfortable with who I was ... until I was told that I needed to work on certain deficiencies & to try harder to fit in / be like others.
Some people are negatively affected by virtual backgrounds during online meetings due to flashes/spikes of light that appear when someone moves their head, I'd love to hear of any research/experiences. #accessibility
Every year, the Newman Holiday Trust is inspected by Ofsted. We're pleased to say that in 2022 we've once again achieved OUTSTANDING in all areas.
Here's the full report:

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard throughout the year to make this happen!
On social media. Or anywhere you use hashtags, remember to capitalise the first letter of each word. This helps screen reader software to identify and call out the words. This also helps with cognitive impairments. And avoids misunderstandings. #EachWordStartsWithACapital
THANK YOU to all who helped make this such a successful summer: Holiday Organisers, nurses, volunteer helpers, exec committee, trustees, host venues, families, carers, DJs, magicians and countless others... and last but certainly not least the children, who inspire us every year!
We need a volunteer NURSE to support our North East holiday due to a sudden drop-out. The duties are minimal and you’ll be supported by one of our experienced nurses. It's huge fun!
Sun 14 - Sun 21 August
