To anyone who watched my film last year: I’m excited to say that today I’ve accepted an unconditional offer for Liverpool Hope to study Childhood and Youth & Politics!!
Please consider sponsoring me in my quest to walk 70,000 steps between the 4th and 10th of May whilst observing lockdown rules (and also going to work!). I’m aiming to raise £140 to support guide dogs and those who are aided by them. Thank you!

I’m looking to do another short documentary focused on care leavers. Any ideas or anyone want to commission it? I previously did one with Channel 4 on care leavers in university.
#CareLeavers
@Dr_LeanneDawson@andospeaks Doesn’t surprise me. I purposely didn’t come out as trans until I had moved out of foster care and into a semi-independent flat as I knew that if people reacted badly I was somewhat self-sufficient.
Hi all! I’ve created an account that is more care system-centric called @achieveincare. I hope to use that more to share my work and campaigns that are related to care. Please give us a follow and share if you can :)
@ZahraPsych I was told something very similar to this. Since starting my petition my LA have agreed to extend my placement. However, we shouldn’t have to fight so hard to get decisions like this made. It needs to be statutory law that we get the option.
I’ve created a petition calling on the U.K. Government to make it statutory law for local authorities to fund 18 year old university-bound care leavers’ placements until they move into student housing. Please sign and share!

@geekyisgood I’ve had experience with the Parliament petition site and the one thing that I couldn’t deal with was that you can’t have a dialogue with those who sign in. https://t.co/lFjxyBc2G5 is good for running a campaign on, whereas the Parliament petition site feels clinical to me 🙂
@geekyisgood I considered using that platform but although they have to give a response to all petitions that reach 10,000 signatures, I don’t think that my petition is going to get that many as it’s a bit specific. I’m aiming to get some MPs on side though.
