As the weather grows colder #Libraries are again acting as @warmwelcomeuk.bsky.social spaces. As campaign director @davidbarclay.bsky.social explains, warm spaces 'turn what might have been a lonely day into one filled with connection and community.' www.librariesconnected.org.uk/news/public-...

Great to be at St Luke’s Community Centre in Islington today, a registered @warmwelcomeuk.bsky.social Space, for a National Lottery and Sustain event on helping groups move from food poverty to food security!

This is hugely worrying, and points strongly to the need for more co-ordination between national & local government, faith and civil society groups and of course housing providers.

Celebrating my foster daughter’s 18th bday today. Seems like yesterday she arrived aged 13. Think we were all equally terrified at 1st but can’t say how glad I am to have her in my life. Fostering is a rollercoaster for sure but also a unique opportunity to expand your family, your mind & your heart

This is hugely welcome news - profiteering in children’s social care is an absolutely enormous scandal and Government action on it is long overdue!

At the party’s conference, meeting mayors and old friends rekindle a restless hope.

Really excited to be heading to London for the first ChurchWorks Commission meeting with the new Government. On the agenda - how can churches shape and help deliver the Child Poverty Strategy and how can we work together to grow the 4000-strong network of Warm Welcome Spaces that ChurchWorks began!

Excited to be here! Have been wanting to leave Twitter for a while and hoping that this might be a good landing spot…
