Today is launch day for our #Listen2Learn project in north Belfast where we heard from children about how they learn best. We've been working with @Young_at_Art who guided the children on a creative journey. More throughout the day on what the children have been saying...🚀

⚠️ Over 14,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.

@keir_starmer @davidlammy, now is not the time for half measures.

The UK must suspend ALL arms to the Government of Israel.

Watch and share our latest film with @oxfamGB.

@SCUKNI @summerofplay @DryArchCentre @InKindDirect @savechildrenuk @shindybopper @peter_mckinney Fantastic to see these initiatives happening ❤️

We’re speaking to families impacted by the 2 child limit. We know this unfair policy will continue to be one of the main drivers of child poverty until the Government scrap it! Here’s what Mum Anna has told us. She wants to give her children the best childhoods possible!

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

Our thoughts and solidarity are with Muslim communities and people of colour affected by the recent racist violence across the UK.

We stand against all forms of racism, and are committed to supporting those impacted and working towards a more inclusive and just society.

We love seeing children and families get creative with play! We also know it supports brain development. So this was the scene y’day at our Play Day. Music / arts / dance all part of the experience 🎶 🎭 🎨 @EastSidePship @SCUKNI

Congratulations to NI’s new set of MPs. I’m sure you’ll need to catch up on some sleep first but once rested up, here’s a to do list for how to help radically improve things for children:

Today at the start of Infant Mental Health Week, we want to add our voice to the importance of speaking up for babies!

As a collaboration of dedicated partners, we believe it is vital to #SpeakUpForBabies to give them the best opportunity to thrive.

#IMHAW2024

[Save the Children Northern Ireland @SCUKNI]

It’s Infant Mental Health week & we - along with over 60 orgs - want to take the opportunity to speak up for babies! We want to support their mental health & ensure their wellbeing cannot be forgotten by policy makers. @SFTS_NI

[Save the Children Northern Ireland @SCUKNI]

Brilliant to hear there will be a dedicated @jrf_uk team set up here & that child poverty will be a key focus. We fed into their report and back its finding that this is a crucial time for intervention around NI's growing child poverty rates. https://t.co/PyfSXfzhpF

Sometimes people ask us to talk about our work with children living in poverty here. A key thing we'll mention is our Early Year Grants' programme. Through it we help hundreds of families buy the basic essentials. Here's the story of our grants since the start of this year...
