Sarah experienced things no child should ever have to. Reflecting on her childhood, Sarah hopes that by running the London Marathon, she can inspire the next generation 🙏 Find your motivation and sign up to the London Marathon 2027 here: ow.ly/s64F50YNT44

When you’re minding your own business and a beautiful butterfly lands on you. Reminds me of my all time favourite quote - “Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Sometimes there’s nothing better than quietly sitting in the garden, listening to a chilled radio station, enjoying the sunshine! Perfect Sunday! ☀️

For years, I’d been on the lookout for this classic album. Managed to find a 2nd copy last year. But today, it’s been re-issued for its 35th anniversary & I’ve managed to get my hands on a brand new copy. Proper chuffed! Only heard about the new release by chance on the radio last week #TracyChapman

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

Care leavers deserve better. Since 2014, ‘Staying Put’ has aimed to support young people beyond 18 but barriers remain. It’s time to address the challenges and ensure no care leaver faces this journey alone. Learn more: Staying Put | FosterWiki #CareLeaversSupport2025 #StayingPut2025 #FosterWiki

"Forty per cent of men under the age of twenty five in prison today were in care. For me they have already been failed by society." Prison reform campaigner, Matthew Torbitt, explains why early Government intervention could prevent imprisonment and save money. #Newsnight

There’s no greater relief when you have social anxiety than being on a train with a seat reserved next to yours but they don’t show up. I won’t now need to make small talk with a stranger for the next 90 minutes! 🤣

Word of the Day is ‘gwenders’, from old Cornish dialect: a disagreeable tingling in the extremities (or no sensation at all) due to extreme cold.

Hi everyone! My first post on here. Apparently, it’s the place to be where all the ‘cool kids’ are hanging out these days. *prays it lives up to the hype and doesn’t turn out to be just another Threads’ 😂 I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and making many new ones! ❤️
