Great to have landed in Birmingham in my new role as Chief Executive of the Children's Trust. Big thanks to everyone for giving me such a warm welcome. Lots of challenges in the s114 context, but will keep relentless focus upon children and their needs.

Very proud that Birmingham Children’s Trust and B’Friends enabled 3,000 of our children and families to enjoy Winter Funland! This is Christmas - children laughing with joy, screaming with excitement, living in the moment. Thanks to all who made it happen!!
