Our days once ended with the setting sun. Now, with artificial light, we decide when the day is done. We can work more, sleep less, be productive. What could possibly go wrong? 📽️ Watch our new film by award-winning animator @emilydowne___

The Government's decision to leave the two-child limit in place at the Budget will have a material impact, as the policy affects an increasing number of children as time goes on, We estimate that an additional 63,000 children will become affected by the policy between now and April 2025.

1 in 4 kids in the care system in the UK are over 16. Their housing is often below standard & too many of them age out of the care system with no stable relationships. So pleased that @Home4Gd is making Supported Lodgings their third vital strand of work #brimmingwithpotential
