Thank you @Hyperoptic for charging me an early exit fee because my mum died and I had up leave my flat my job, my life, and relocate to an area that doesn’t have Hyperoptic. So considerate and understanding!

Yes, I was surprised. We do need to think really carefully about the language we use and symbolism.

What we do-I’d no idea what DIVERT was. I was offered support in a moment of helplessness after arrest. Billy walked into the cell & weight lifted off my shoulders. I cried. He cared without shame or expectations. I wanted out of the system & help. He’s got my life back on track

Yet still we build more warehouses and more warehouses that don’t work, have never worked and I doubt will ever work in the future. And for what reason?

I didn't attend school for my GCSEs, I did not sit my exams due to being in the care system. I had 0 quals until I went to college at 17 & took GCSEs & then Alevels at night school. Your academic grades do not reflect how you will do in life.

Congratulations if you got the grades that you wanted and try not to worry if you didn’t. Whatever your grades are worth you are worth a million times more.

"some people who have broken the law want others to know that they are sorry, whilst at the same time feel the pressure to prove this to themselves. In such cases, their penitence becomes a public display for families, caseworkers, and those in authority."

This week our Steering Committee for #Thrive launched. Incredible support across Government departments, #NHS, people with lived experience. Thrive creates employment/ progression opps and seeks to support a reduction in health inequalities for people who have been in care.

What an amazing day! Great to see so many employers looking to learn more about recruiting prison leavers. Its clear that more & more businesses are realising that hiring people with convictions is good for society & good for business. #SecondChances #Timpson #InclusiveWorkforce

162K children being brought up by a relative know the value of love. But, unlike children in foster care, most of these families receive no support. Tell politicians to keep children within their families by adding your name today #ValueOurLove valueourlove.kinship.org.uk/…
