āThe wilful destruction of Sure Start and the reductions of childrenās benefits after 2010 has set back opportunities for millions of childrenās futures. Thatās why our country desperately needs a new Sure Start.ā

A real-terms decrease of 2.8% (Ā£619 million) for Scottish local authorities will mean a cold wind blowing for the Scottish third sector and hard times for citizens who rely on that support. We so badly need an equitable funding regime for the third sector in Scotland @TSIScotNet
16 Jan 2024
Whilst no council was at immediate financial risk in 2022/23, thereās no certainty this will continue. An agreement with @scotgov to secure a sustainable, longer-term funding arrangement to deliver local services is all the more urgent.

Sobering news from the 2024 Scottish Homelessness Monitor: homelessness set to soar by a third over the next 2 years. @scotgov must act urgently to live up to its ambition of an equal fair Scotland. Having a safe, warm and secure place to call home is utterly important. (1/n) š§µ

Itās hard to explain what it is like in services that support children & families at this time of year. A passionate & committed but weary childrenās services workforce holding all the joy, the loss, the hope, & the hurt with & for families. No other job comes close imho.

I am *still* hearing about school proudly announcing their plans to build flexible, open-plan learning spaces with no walls etc, and my advice to anyone thinking about doing this is do not do this.

It's so normalised to have to be a certain way, to play the game, to use the right buzzwords to fit in & be a 'success'. It's exhausting, & a form of widespread masking. I'm inspired by people who are themselves- who show their real humanity. Think it takes courage & integrity.

This really resonated today. Grateful to work with some very genuine, skilled and insightful people who are working hard to support children and young people who have experienced trauma. This is a complicated time of year & #wintering is upon us. Talking things through helps āŗļø

One conversation after another today- it's so uplifting to work with genuine, caring people. Simple as that. Ofc there's a massive strain & frustration out there, & yet there remains so much commitment to be thoughtful & kindhearted. I really felt that today, & it's restorative.

The level of resources required to take children to medical appointments is massive.Time away from work,transport,all the magic needed to contain a nervous wee person,supporters who can contain & support me etc. How parents who have to do this more regularly manage is astounding
