Watch this powerful film written by a group of young people who grew up in poverty, with the help of award-winning director @holbrook99

Don’t let poverty hold children back.

Having graduates in early years settings supports both parents and child outcomes but we need funding for fair pay and progression routes to make this a reality @SHU_SIoE https://t.co/gEMu6wSs9h

[Oliver Coppard @olivercoppard]

Some days I really do get to do some lovely things. This morning it was my pleasure to visit my friend Dr Sally Pearse @SHUEarlyYears, @savethechildren and the team at Meadows Nursery, and most importantly meet some of their beautiful, brilliant kids.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

@CrossCountryUK why only 4 carriages on this morning's train from York to Plymouth instead of 8? People standing for hours.

[Save the Children Scotland @SaveChildrenSCO]

We’re delighted that the Deputy First Minister, all opposition leaders & MSPs from every party joined Save the Children & colleagues across the charity sector to recommit to meeting the child poverty reduction targets by 2030. Together, we can achieve a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 without child poverty.

🗒️There is an absence of leadership on poverty nationally. Localities are taking it upon themselves to take action. Our new report explains how they can ensure local poverty plans have impact. #AntiPovertyStrategies https://t.co/XD6TJt0bhe

@TillyLovesBooks Royal Festival Hall or the Barbican. I'd probably go for the Barbican. One of the most amazing public spaces that London has to offer. Needs to be constantly appreciated and celebrated

[Sheffield Hallam University News @HallamUniNews]
