Throughout Feb #knifeangel is in Leeds @ Royal Armouries . This striking tall sculpture made of 100,000 seized knifes, highlighting the negative effects of violence is worth seeing #britishironworkcentre #savealifesurrenderyourknife #projectshieldleeds Safer Leeds

Absolutely fantastic news!

We are out and about again this week at the Leeds Virtual School Conference 2024, to spread the word about how Independent Visitors support children looked after in Leeds… and maybe even recruit some volunteers. Come and say hello if you’re at the conference. #volunteers

#Volunteersweek "It's amazing watching them grow" Celebrating the contributions of Independent Visitors befriending care-experienced children and young people in the North of England. One theme celebrated was 'The Terminator'; with one IV befriending 7 children over 16-years!

"It can make a difference to someone's day, just by sacrificing a bit of your time". Across #VolunteersWeek we are celebrating the Independent Visitor role befriending children in care. Hear from Troy City of Doncaster Council Buddy Scheme - Troy youtu.be/d8tf_zzhnCc?si… via YouTube

Ever wondered what our independent visitors and young people get up to on visits? We sent out some friends to find out! Here is Harry hippo who went out on a visit to the farm with one of our matches and a report about the day from the young person! #livsfriends #fun
