Our new @FreshStart_TV film The Snowman and Me follows two boys from audition to opening night of The Snowman in the West End. On @cbbc on Friday and on @BBCiPlayer Thanks to @Sadlers_Wells and @BirminghamRep Congrats @MarshallCorwin and thanks to @Kezmargrie

It was an honour to be at @UKHouseofLords last week to listen to speeches from children. They were finalists in our @First_News “Speech Your Mind” competition, hosted by my friend @LordMcConnell. It’s important to listen to the voices of children because their ideas matter. They see the world in ways that adults sometimes miss. And they are not inhibited by political bias nor any other agenda. All their speeches - on war, nature loss, poverty, racism, acceptance, SEND and more - were from the heart and sincere. Thank you to the MPs who attended, to Lord Jack, to fellow judges Sky Kids’ Ian France @wwf_uk Lisa Lee and @ChildrensComm @Rachel_deSouza. Read all about it in this week’s First News and watch it at first.news/TV.

98% of parents believe it's important for a child to own their own books. But for some, books are a luxury they can't afford. This Christmas your donation will bring children the comfort of books to cherish for years to come. Please donate £10 today and make a child feel special.

Thanks to @ChrisGPackham and @SteveBackshall for their contributions to our new @FYI_SkyTV nature film Where has our Wildlife Gone? Watch here: schools.firstnews.co.uk/tv/f… Much work to be done as @First_News reports this week!

We buy a million bottles of water every minute. For some people who don’t have access to safe water, it’s necessary. For the rest of us it’s a choice that is bad for our health and the planet.🌍 We can do better. @WCMQatar @Water @UNICEFEducation
