@pgrigg @CitizensAdvice @homestartuk Amazing news, many congratulations, Peter! You’ll be brilliant there, though the children and families sector will the poorer without you!

The proportion of families with children in poverty who are in work has increased over recent decades. Since 2000, the fraction of families in poverty where the adults are doing no paid work has fallen from 51 per cent to 30 per cent. Read more: buff.ly/4iZATds

@sandeeigwe @MotherhoodGroup @MMHAlliance @CentreforMH Let us know if Home-Start can help the work at all :)

@pgrigg @MotherhoodGroup @MMHAlliance @CentreforMH Thanks, peter. It’s been a long time coming that we take ownership of our Maternal Mental Health narratives and stories.

What happens when you combine the UK's leading voices in maternal mental health? 🌟 Thrilled to announce The @MotherhoodGroup is partnering with @MMHAlliance and @CentreforMH on a groundbreaking Black Maternal Mental Health Project! Building on TMG's proven track record (12,721 mothers supported!), this powerful collaboration will revolutionise how we approach Black maternal mental healthcare in the UK. Together, we're not just researching - we're reimagining support that truly works. Where real stories meet real change. 💫

@KensalRLibrary @KensalGreenRA @KensalTri @KensalRiseRA And also, how did I never notice he looked like John Lennon :) x

@pgrigg @KensalGreenRA @KensalTri @KensalRiseRA He did indeed fight hard. Our wonderful friend and fellow campaigner. We miss him. So many things great could be said about him. He is so missed around here. A great friend of the campaign to save the library, but so much more. So much more.

Delighted to read of wonderful generosity from Allen Samuels. A delightful, generous soul who fought so hard, thoughtfully, compassionately to keep a community library in Kensal Rise. @KensalRLibrary @KensalGreenRA @KensalTri @KensalRiseRA bit.ly/1MilGift

@PeterRimmer74 Think I can just about see his legend under those trousers...

@pgrigg If you have to choose between history and legend, print the legend as they say 😆

Aldershot… so much to answer for 😍

A huge thank you to @TNLComFund for their grant which will help us continue our vital work supporting local Home-Starts across London so that they can reach and support more children and families 💜 home-startlondon.org/home-start-lon…

We owe these safeguards to our children. For their wellbeing and in some cases to save lives. Something I have been campaigning for over the last 20 years ⁦@Ofcom⁩ ⁦@BBCNews⁩ ⁦@UKHouseofLords⁩ ❤️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@sarahvibert82 @lisanandy @Keir_Starmer Great work Sarah! Thank you :)

I’m honoured to be at the launch of the #CivilSocietyCovenant today. Brilliant discussions led by @lisanandy in the Ministerial Roundtable, and now joining a Parliamentary Reception with @Keir_Starmer to reaffirm government’s commitment to working closely with the sector.

This webinar explores the effect of place & policy on children's health & development, sharing strategies on how to improve existing conditions to allow all children to thrive. It's USA focused, but the learning is relevant in the UK. @HarvardCenter kinsq.org/3XU6nYv
