On #WorldKindnessDay, I wanted to give serious consideration to HOW John Lewis & Partners Christmas ad #TheBeginner communicates its message of welcome & love, which has proven to mean so much to the Care Experienced Community but others have mocked. So here's a THREAD. Who Cares? Scotland

For the 1 in 4 children already living in poverty, the #CostOfLivingCrisis is making it even harder for them to thrive. The Scottish Budget must #InvestInChildren not only to protect them from the current crisis, but to ensure the child poverty reduction targets are met by 2030.

A huge thank you to our enthusiastic cohort of trainers who successfully completed our very first Survive & Thrive Training for Trainers event! An important step in increasing the number of facilitators to support people in their recovery journey #TransformingPsychologicalTrauma

What can schools do to support struggling families during the cost of living crisis? Our new guide with Children North East sets out really practical, often cost-neutral, steps that will help families. Because all children should be able to experience all that school has to offer.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day for drop off for donations for our Christmas packs. We need to have these packed up in advance as sadly, next week will be our busiest of the year. Thank you to everyone who has donated, it really does make a difference 💚
