Emma-Jane

This report has, for the first time, got some of this data! Some of this is shocking: 20% of all kids in secure settings come from only SIX SCHOOLS! And 5% come from THE SAME SCHOOL!

- we should be kind / While there is still time.

❌ Food banks shouldn't need to exist. ✔️ We should all be able to afford the essentials we need to survive and live with dignity. Repost if you agree!

@PBush1 @StJohnINTL @StJohnIYAN @SJAYouthEng Thanks Peter, I really appreciate this! I’m hopeful for the next generation of youth voice champions 🤞

@_noetics @StJohnINTL @StJohnIYAN @SJAYouthEng Well Done Emma-Jane, this is so deserved, the amount of time and energy you dedicate to youth development and improving Young People’s Voices is beyond amazing. And also quite rare in today’s organisation.

It’s finally here! The first @StJohnINTL Global Leadership Development Programme has begun, bringing together volunteers and employees from across the 44 different St John bodies around the world. Here we go!

Jess, sorry to disappoint but Somalians living in London isn’t the reason we have the current Social Housing crisis we are faced with. It’s the fact consecutive governments failed to invest in council house building which coincided with them selling off the little council housing stock we did have over the last 30 years. There are 1.3 million people waiting for social housing including 151,000 homeless kids, despite this fact, last year government only built 700 new social homes and year on year we are knocking down and selling off more homes than we are building. That’s where your anger should be directed, not Somalian’s or any other minority group needing a roof over their head for that matter.

@squirrell_s Lots of support worker chats over cuppas, I assure you!

@_noetics Great work as always time for a cuppa ?

I had a brilliant weekend supporting my two Members of Youth Parliament to engage with the sessions, make connections with others, and grow more confident in expressing their views - and not getting time to tweet, as you can tell! #UKYP24

Paid training and work opportunities for young people interested in getting involved in research and policy at @TheCfEY! Please share this with young people you know - we're especially keen to hear from folk who face barriers to this kind of work🙂 cfey.org/news-and-event…

One of the most shocking opening paragraphs I have ever read about British governance. #Grenfell 🎩 @piercepenniless @LRB

Over 150 hours of support have already been pledged in the week since I tweeted, with several same-day matches immediately made. Best feeling in the world to see this kindness and care 💚

A real pleasure to welcome @educationgovuk Minister @StephenMorganMP to meet with @stjohnambulance Portsmouth volunteers. We discussed the importance of every young person having the opportunity to learn #firstaid to improve health outcomes & save lives.💚

@_noetics @stjohnambulance @SJA_Students Singed up again! Had a great time helping last year :)
