We’re now open for applications for the @GSK Community Health programme to support #SmallCharities tackling health inequalities. A great opportunity for small organisations doing brilliant work to get funding and training support.

Pls share.
If you know someone who has a severe impairment of social functioning (eg dementia, severe stroke, severe parkinsons) they may be due a significant reduction in council tax. It's worth checking, full info here... moneysavingexpert.com/reclai…

Thanks to you I applied for the SMI reduction to council tax for my mum and it’s been approved. No council tax to pay this year. She became a widow last year so this is great news for her. Thankyou.

Today’s important report from @kinshipcharity highlights the unique challenges faced by Black and Asian kinship carers. Our #KinshipCare Practice Guide calls for support that recognises and responds to the specific needs of kinship carers, and recommends that local kinship carers, particularly from minoritised ethnic backgrounds, are meaningfully involved in the co-design of local services. It’s vital that practice and policy reflect these findings to ensure that all kinship families get the support they need.

I hope that @JanetDaby can clarify the status of this vital lifeline for all kinship children. Leaving behind our vulnerable children is a mistake we will pay for in many ways for years to come. Children, especially those who have backgrounds of abuse and neglect, need support to thrive and contribute to society and it is ultimately the responsibility of government to guarantee this.

Thanks @Shanayd_ @clarewalshlab for sharing their experience with our APPG today. The session focused on the urgent need for clarity on the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund with funding yet to be confirmed beyond this month. Also, next steps on the kinship local offer
ALT Two photos of kinship carers Shanayd and Clare speaking to members of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Kinship Care today. Text reads APPG on Kinship Care considers actions on the kinship local offer and funding for therapeutic support.
