What an amazing day yesterday to march with brilliant people as part of The Children's Society first ever group at #PrideInLondon A special day as we celebrate inclusion and equality and our commitment to fight for a society for all children Pride in London




Today Dame Rachel de Souza published an important report I was moved but also angry reading how poverty bleeds into every area of children’s lives It is a scandal that 4.6million children live in poverty in one of the richest countries in the world. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/resource/growi…

Absolutely brilliant to be at today’s Summit bringing government and civil society together. A truly historic day! Fantastic opening speeches from Matt Hyde Lisa Nandy MP and Keir Starmer (Always love when Lisa talks about her time The Children's Society )
