@kirstyjmcneill I’m delighted for us all that you won, Kirsty! Of course I’m particularly happy for all the folk in Midlothian who will gain so much from your passion and drive, but I know you will have a huge impact elsewhere too. Congratulations ♥️

Watched ‘Home’ while breastfeeding my newborn this morning. 🤱🏻 I feel so lucky to be able to give her a safe home here in my arms. Wonderful work from @savechildrenuk & @aardman raising awareness and supporting the children and their families forced to flee theirs. 🧡💜

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

Introducing @Aardman x Save the Children UK's short film: Home 🧡💜

Home is about child refugees – and what it’s like to be away from the life they knew before they had to flee.

Involving children in decisions that impact them is a good thing, right? So why is child participation not yet fully embedded in responses to #childlabour...? New blog: https://t.co/jPhGWSuvXq
