Fantastic evening. Emotional but as always love being face to face with my cep family old an new. 🥰 book is brilliant. So many stories to. We read an heard

Huge congratulations to Rebekah Pierre and all the brilliant people who contributed to #FreeLoavesonFriday .

The readings tonight were powerful, emotional and packed with beautiful and painful (but needed) messages. A special day for people with care experiences everywhere.

From becoming a foster carer, to pushing select committee MPs to reading the book, the responses we received are outstanding.

Care experienced stories are not just for consumption but for action.

This evening, everybody at the Free Loaves on Fridays book launch was asked to respond to what they had heard, writing one action on a piece of jigsaw.

This was to symbolise that only as a collective can we influence change. Everyone, no matter their role, has a piece to offer.

Excitement mounting for the launch event of this brilliant book. The wonderful Abi Morris has done a splendid job of designing the cover, making it beautiful from start to finish.

Clearly a wonderful evening celebrating a wonderful thing - very well done Rebekah Pierre and all involved in making this such a success. I was sorry not to be with you - but I sense the people who really deserved to be were absolutely there! 🙏❤️

An honour to be the mc for the most moving book launch I have attended for years. It brought me to the brink of tears a good few times. The audience too.
