Not all of the capital funding is linked to the review recommendations, but even WITHOUT any included the total funding for the reforms now comes to...
*£2.65bn*
That's the Labour government seriously delivering on the recommendations of the review!
I committed faithfully to get fit so I can cycle on a tandem with my Co-CEO, 27 miles a day for 4 days - in locations from London to Edinburgh - to raise money for Safe Families and Home for Good. Will you support us? Thank you!

Listening intently to the panel at Fatima Whitbread’s UK Campaign ‘One Voice Summit. All are needed at this table to change the system - but as @JoshMacAlister has shared, children&young people need a tribe to belong to. This is our heartbeat, belonging. @Home4Gd@SafeFamiliesUK

The government has announced that care leavers aged under 25 will be given priority access to social housing and exemption from requirements meaning they must have links to a specific area to live there. cypnow.co.uk/content/news/la…
Great to hear @Keir_Starmer mention care leavers in his speech and set out his commitment to tackle homelessness - 1 in 3 face homelessness within 2 years of leaving care so this is a really welcome step.
Can’t commend @renew_wellbeing enough- a simple, practical response to isolation which builds community and offers a truly open-handed approach into faith, too.
