To know my experience in care and as an adoptee will go on to help others feels like giving my younger self a huge hug.

To mark #SocialWorkWeek2024, below is an extract from Free Loaves on Fridays. Chan Billson’s stunning reflection on Gail, a social worker who left an indelible mark on her life, speaks volumes. Thank you to all the Gails out there, today and everyday. unbound.com/books/free-loa…

Gail, I will never forget you. ♥️

Racing back from Venice to get to Foundling Museum in Bloomsbury for the launch of #FreeLoavesonFriday a book of 100 care experienced authors.

At tonight’s #FreeLoavesOnFridays launch I will get to meet two of my heroes: lemn sissay OBE FRSL and my childhood social worker, Gail. Needless to say I’m overwhelmed with emotions. Thank you for making this possible, Rebekah Pierre ♥️

Pleased to see a nod to Free Loaves on Fridays in this important The Guardian piece - as well as two of our 100 authors Chan Billson and lemn sissay OBE FRSL: theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

The launch of #FreeLoavesOnFridays was a dream. I cried more times than I can count and was reunited with my childhood social worker. Despite decades apart she was just as I remembered. ♥️ Thank you to everyone who made the book possible. ♥️ Rebekah Pierre lemn sissay OBE FRSL
