Who gets a Hollywood megastar, the Prime Minister and two Cabinet Ministers in the same room to talk about reducing violence? Simple. The King. An encouraging 🧵 on a good day. (1/5)
We also launched the Serious Change Funders Partnership with the Lottery, Children in Need and Sport England. We will learn together, lead together and push for change together to keep children safe. (I'm trying to remember what Simon said to the King that made us all laugh!)
