It's Giving Tuesday, and for a @childrenlaughUK is able to match funding up to £1,000. Meaning every £ you give becomes £2.
The money will help educators to share joyful, play-based activities in support of the emotional wellbeing of Ukrainian children https://t.co/P6kgisoBel

We
@EastEnd_CAB
are doing the Hackney Legal Walk again raising funds for legal and advice services in Hackney, Newham, TowerHamlets. In 2022 we helped 20k ppl & secured £25m in income for households. Funds help the service meet demand in the COL crisis: https://t.co/Qlm0XKaoj7

The MS Teams built-in transcription is really calling into question how I conduct research interviews.

A #mobile phone can be a lifeline for #refugees, allowing them to access #humanitarian services, speak with loved ones or make financial transactions.

Over time they create their own digital worlds 🌎

Watch this. Clear Suella Braverman doesn’t understand her own asylum policy

Since Govt failed to get replacement for Dublin Agreemnt theres no safe legal route for lone child refugee to rejoin relative in UK. She’s effectively saying they need to make dangerous journey. Shameful
