Behind the scenes, @waitrose and @JohnLewisRetail have been our Secret Santa this year. They have provided food hampers for 1,200 young people who would otherwise be alone at Christmas. We would like to shout a great big THANK YOU.
Feeling super emotional this morning. I'm so grateful to be part of the Care Experience team within the Partnership that is working on the support that surrounds this years @JohnLewisRetail Christmas advert! This is just the beginning...

"You’re never told you can go on and do something bigger. You’re told, “okay, we’re going to make it to 18 and see where life takes us. But kids in care have a life and dreams. I want to help them realise they can go into whatever they want." Read more: https://t.co/POywlWHlja
Today we’re launching a national effort to help people who’ve grown up in care into work. More than 108,000 children are currently in the care system in the UK
Just sent out interview questions ahead of job interviews at the end of the week.
Hoping this becomes standard practice to reduce the anxiety and stress around interviews.
We want the best person for the job, not the best at interviewing.

We’ve been there for our customers since the day dot. But life’s changed, so John Lewis is changing. We’ll always be there for those big moments, but now we’ll be there for every moment 💚
Stay tuned tomorrow for more. #ForAllLifesMoments
'To anyone who has experienced a childhood in care, we believe in you and your potential.’ Our Chairman writes in @TheTimes why we’re working with local authorities and charities to help care-experienced people carve out careers with the Partnership. https://t.co/RIlkQX8zzh
My mum wins the worst training day ever award.
When she worked for the council they paid for them to spend the day in the forest. On arrival they were presented with clown costumes which they had to wear and spend the day being a clown in order to learn how to lose inhibitions.
