Joe Jenkins (he/him) 🧡 Thanks, Joe, I'm glad you liked the blog. There is so much kindness in the world already, we just don't talk about it enough - yet!

The Rwanda policy falls short on every front: economically, practically, politically, socially - and morally

When there are meaningful alternatives that could provide a strategic effective compassionate humane approach

And not endanger yet more children’s lives

More than 60 children a week are being strip-searched by police in England and Wales.

The data from 41 out of 43 police forces shows that children who identify as black, Asian, or mixed race are significantly more likely to be targeted.

As the Dalai Lama once said: “be kind whenever possible; it is always possible”

Every childhood matters. We need to ensure every child gets the best start in life and isn’t living in poverty. Happier more hopeful children are the best economic policy we can have for our future. Superb from Terri White

Today's news feels like an assault on disabled people.

We are in a cost-of-living crisis. Government looking to slash disabled people’s income by hitting personal independence payment (PIP) is a horrific proposal.

It's dangerous and risks leaving disabled people destitute.

It's insulting. The government needs to tackle the root cause of poor mental health. Not demonise people for failures of the systems meant to support them. ITV News

Let’s not use people struggling with mental illness as a way of detracting from the truth. We need thriving communities, accessible services, eradication of poverty, we know what works. Those who carry the risk of this policy are the most vulnerable - is this who we are?

Excellent interview w/ The Children's Society Big Boss Man Mark Russell 🇺🇦 (he/him) & AlbanyLearningTrust

“If you change children’s lives, you change the trajectory of direction they travel in and you change society”

With lots of ways you can join with us to set a new path for children’s happiness!

Delighted that ALASTAIR CAMPBELL instant reply to how we could increase happiness and wellbeing in our country would be to prioritise mental health support in schools!

We The Children's Society agree 💯

Hope many more will join our call for this to be a top government priority
