Horrified by the devastating incident in Southport. Praying for the lives of the children & adults recovering in hospital My heart goes out to all impacted & grieving Young people continue to pay the price for our lack of collective action in addressing the causes of knife crime

This is such a dreadfully sad time for Unlocked Graduates. I am really hoping that the government can work with us to find a solution so we don't lose this incredible initiative from prisons across England and Wales. unlockedgrads.org.uk/news-item/upda…

The prison system is on its knees & yet Ministry of Justice has decided to allow a HIGHLY successful recruitment programme to fold! 🤯 I am outraged not only for Natasha Porter OBE & the incredible Unlocked Graduates team. But also for the young people being denied this fantastic career experience!

We are working on resources for schools to use to address the current situation. Please RT and share. Allana Domini Choudhury (Leong) @nuttylil Dr. Lizana Oberholzer PFHEA/ FCCT/FCMI Amjad Ali Adam Vasco InclusionHT

Shocking, shocking! behaviour by the hosts and the other panel member. How are Zarah’s reflections, even up for debate?! Very poor job here Good Morning Britain

As you shake your head at the scenes of young people in the streets, remember that “children are the mirror of the society that raises them”….🤔 The recent violence across the UK will have an enduring impact on young people, communities & on the youth workers supporting them 👇🏾

Many 'concerned patriots' work side-by-side with 1st & 2nd Gen immigrants. They smile at us while secretly believing we'll never truly belong. As a wide range of sincere voices clamor to define what it means to be British, they reveal far more than I think they intended… 💭💔

After 5yrs as CEO of UK Youth, I've made the difficult decision to step down this December.  I'm filled with immense gratitude for the opportunity to have been part of the impact this network has collectively achieved for young people across the UK ❤️ 👇🏾 linkedin.com/posts/ndidi1st…

Today I’m launching my Private Members’ Bill - the Safer Phones Bill - to protect children from the harms that can be caused by excessive screen time, and the use of social media and other apps, many of them addictive by design. 👉 saferphonesbill.co.uk

Bold leadership is required to tackle something we seem to have accepted as “the norm” … As a society we can demand greater protections for our children and roll back the negative impacts to ensure smart phones are used for good. Thank you Josh MacAlister MP 👏🏾

🙏 Thanks to everyone who joined us at yesterday's welcome session for the Youth Sector Innovation Incubator, from CAST & @NCSTrust. Over the coming months, participants will explore digital solutions to boost social cohesion among young people. More 👉 buff.ly/3YgGkfK

Every young person deserves access to safe spaces, trusted adults, and enriching activities. We welcome the Government’s commitment to a new youth strategy but urge clarity and support for youth sector funding, especially with the NCS closure in 2025. The Government must protect
