A huge thank you to Alan Dapre🖊️📚 for dedicating his amazing ‘Grizzly Ben’ book to my Dad.

It’s a major hit with my Preschoolers at work, and we all love it too.

Can 100% recommend it if you have, or work with Littluns. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/produ…

Walked over ‘that bridge’ today.

Thank you Who Cares? Scotland for inviting me and girlstupid to accept this award on Ian's (@IDickson258) behalf. It was such an honour.
He would have absolutely loved seeing everyone having such a wonderful evening.

Today is #CareDay23 and we're celebrating Care Experienced people and their allies who are challenging stigma experienced by the community!

Tonight at the Carelidh we will be awarding Terry Galloway, Emma Jane Reeves, Rebekah Pierre and Ian Dickson for their work.

God bless you Dad! It will look amazing on your windowsill! 🥰💔

Wishing I could have been with my Katie (@kat_anne_lynch) and (Sue Dickson 💙) today, accepting this posthumous award on behalf of my Amazing Dad!
But…I am fully aware that my Father’s response to the invitation would have been “You will NOT be taking a day off work for me!”

I'm hyper-aware that it's Care Experience Week next week. I often find it to be tokenistic and I'm usually unsure how to challenge that.

So I have made this mini guide for care experienced allies on how they can make next week more bearable for CEP.

Today is #CareDay23

Today I celebrate nine year old Isabelle. As despite the trauma she experienced, she is thriving at 26.

I am glad I went into care. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be alive today.

#CareDay2023 5yr old Jackie. Covered in nits an lice. Rude. Violent. Of no particular talent. Dirty. Battered. Covered in bruises. Well I’m 56 now. Definitely not how you described me Birmingham Children's Trust back in 70/80s no after care just left to … so you know who I am now?

Happy birthday Dad. 💔 #KeepItLit4IanDickson

Remembering Ian Dickson
I miss him more than words can express. 💔💔
Please keep his legacy alive, by remembering all that he stood for, and continuing to fight for what is right for #CEP
