Carers and Young Carers are heroes and it feels time and time again that government neither appreciate how hard life is or behave with cold heartlessness as this woman has found out. This has to change
Superb from โฆJosh Hallidayโฉ

Iโm so proud of The Children's Society retail team. 104 shops raising millions to support our work changing childrenโs lives. I loved visiting 6 shops in the Midlands to say thank you to our staff and volunteers. Iโm inspired by the amazing people who are part of our TeamTCS family!
The #CassReview should mark a watershed moment - for my full response on behalf of The Children's Society read below ๐
Iโm so grateful to my friend Peter Wanless for all heโs done to champion children. Heโs been an outstanding leader @nspcc and everyone at Team The Children's Society send our grateful thanks and huge respect! (Maybe I need to start wearing brighter shirts!)
Such a pleasure to join hayleyguest and all the staff from across Manor Multi Academy Trust to give the closing keynote at their conference and share The Children's Society passion to build a society for all children! I was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm and their kind cheque for ยฃ2000!
Splendid selection of free online learning events from The Children's Society Prevention team - focused on exploitation and safeguarding young people

Iโm grateful to David Cameron and Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP ensuring that the UK stands up for the human rights of LGBTQ+ people. The Ugandan law is an outrage and my heart goes out to all those living in fear there
Over four million children live in poverty and one of the quickest ways to lift hundreds of thousands out of poverty would be to scrap this cruel Sibling Tax because #AllKidsCount
Proud to add The Children's Society voice to our friends End Child Poverty in fighting for this change
Tomorrow is an unhappy birthday, 7 years since the start of the two-child limit to benefit payments
We love birthdays ๐ but this isn't one to celebrate ๐ today we are taking this message to Department for Work and Pensions
All political parties must pledge to scrap this Sibling Tax
#AllKidsCount
Really grateful to UK Youth Parliament Youth Select Committee for this excellent report into the impact of the Cost of Living crisis on young people. Their recommendations are wise and I hope the government read carefully
Grateful to British Youth Council for supporting these young people
Fining people for being homeless rather than actually change housing policy so people donโt end up homeless sounds like an #AprilFoolsDay joke, but sadly not. Homelessness is a national scandal we should commit to eradicate not criminalise. Well said Polly Neate
So good to hear from Include: Young Carers colleagues - spotlight on young carers in our Trustee meeting yesterday.
Sharing the work of our lean team making big waves for young carers & drumming up interest in the event of the year #YoungCarersFestival24
#YCF24
Make a pledge today to #LookCloser to help protect a child or young person from exploitation. Whether you work with young people or may come across them in your line of work, you could help by knowing the signs and reporting it. More: orlo.uk/zZgfV The Children's Society
