Children under 11 in #London know what #knifecrime is. 😳 This is a reality. As much as we can try to protect our children from some harsh realities of the world, some things cannot be hidden forever. Knife crime, gangs and grooming are real issues on the streets.

The stats speak for themselves. We are so proud to say that 100% of the children we worked with and mentored in 2023 had an improved wellbeing by the end of their journey with us. EVERY single child benefited with a positive role model creating #mentormagic and resilience.

Swap 1 coffee to change a child's life. Really, that's all it takes!☕️ Any @BigGive donations are doubled by @ChildhoodTrust until 18th June🤯 That means even giving the amount you would usually spend on a coffee could fund an entire hour of free #mentalhealth mentoring.⚡️

The volunteer mentors at @the_kidsnetwork are the lifeblood of our programme. It was wonderful to be able to begin #volunteersweek by celebrating the amazing impact that they have on our #LittleLondoners. Huge thanks to all at @leathersellers for hosting us so generously 🧵

🌉 I heard about a child who had never crossed a bridge before and how he and his mentor walked across Waterloo Bridge ⚾ A mentor told me how she and her mentee had built confidence by simply playing catch in the park 🃏 I found out how card collecting developed planning skills

Catherine and Andy have been friends and supporters of our work @clpe1 for many years. Right now we want to wrap our arms around them and we are sure our whole community will too. Please read their story and, if you can, donate to support the campaign in memory of lovely Rycroft
My partner @andrewfoster101 has written a beautiful thread about Rycroft and why we're raising money in his memory. If you've got 5 mins on your commute or tea break today, please have a read.

I usually only post stuff about work on Twitter. But this is probably the most important thing I will ever tweet and it's very very personal. Please donate if you can, and/ or share the story about my inspirational, brave, beautiful little boy ❤️ #Rycroft
Our baby boy Rycroft died at Great Ormond Street last month. The thread that follows is a little bit about who he was, and how you can help other children like him. We would love any help you can give to get Rycroft's story to as many people as possible ❤️
