Fantastic! Well done 👏 #careleaversweek

An honour to share air with these young men & women

Just spent two days working with care leavers. We all owe them for the failure of others. They hold candles to shed light on things. I am weak & privileged & they teach me what Precious & loyal means. They are the pieces of the jigsaw & we are the picture on the front of the box.

Loved attending the football tournament as part of care leavers week! Even better that Manchester won! Been great to see how much has taken place across Manchester as part of care leavers week.Well done @jakefrith and all the team 👏🏽⚽️ p.s I’m bringing my boots next time 😜

Great day, fantastic team spirit. Great to be part of another GM collaboration. Congratulations to all who took part and made it happen. #CareLeaversWeek

Good luck to all the young people who are making @sensesofhome a reality not just an idea. Inspiring 👏

Absolutely our children deserve better!

Great day buzzing around Greater Manchester. Launched the latest SHiFT practice with Andy Burnham & team in Tameside. Met great practitioners and young people in Bury. Finished with brilliant session hearing from care experienced young people at NHP. Inspired!

Happy #worldsocialworkday so very proud to be a social worker. So very grateful to the incredible people I have met along my 26 years ish in social work.

History was made last night! Over 1,000 people from all faith backgrounds & none attended the Open Iftar at Manchester Cathedral. Beautiful showcase of bridging, belonging & celebrating our community of communities. Appreciation to @deanroggovender Bev Craig for hosting us in MCR! 🐝

Love hearing all the positive stories coming from young people who live here and use the community hub space! 👏👏

Following the success of 2022 Our Year, the work of the Council and other partner organisations continues towards a goal of making Manchester a UNICEF UK-recognised Child Friendly City.

Thanks so much for spending time with us Kate. We really enjoyed the discussion reinforcing the need for a long term plan for housing and places to start well, live well and age well.
