Thanks so much The Fruit Stall for the boxes. We are filling them up with resources and activities to support young people’s emotional health and well-being during lockdown Barnardo’s #recycle #mentalhealth @Mattbeeratwork Kirklees Council Kirklees Youth #youngcarers

This #CarersWeek2020 we'll be celebrating and shining a light on the lives of #YoungCarers across Kirklees, managing even greater caring responsibilities during lockdown. AA has chosen this image as a symbol of visibility, hope & security Barnardo’s Kirklees Council

I've struggled to secure online slots for supermarkets. Some conditions are invisible but we've been questioned by staff and made to feel embarrassed. Just one of the challenges faced by Barnsley YoungCarers during lockdown #MakeCaringVisible Barnardo’s Barnsley Council

I’m Jacob & I’m 12 & care for my mum & give her hugs to make her feel better. Because of lockdown I’m not getting to go out & can’t play football which is annoying. I'm part of a #youngcarers group & I'm really enjoying playing all the games & talking to other people on Zoom

Because we're committed to children’s rights and to ensuring that young people’s decisions are respected. Because we have workers, supporters and service users who identify. Because we see and understand the impact of bullying, discrimination and prejudice. #WhyImATransAlly

I've resigned from @GEOgovuk the #LGBT Advisory Panel - and decided to say exactly what I think about this administration and the way they treat LGBT people, particularly trans people. Do watch ITV News tonight for the full interview itv.com/news/2021-03-1…
