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?

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.

We’ve launched a new report! Titled "Adoption pay: Levelling up for the self-employed," this short report calls for equal access to adoption pay for self-employed adopters.
We're calling on Government to address this inequality. Read the report here: homeforgood.org.uk/adoption-…

This can be a pivotal moment for children’s social care.
We hope the #carereview inspires thousands of adults across the country to #stepupforchildren and offer love & support to children and families.

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

Nearly half of churchgoers would be prepared to open their home up to a teenager in the care as part of a supported lodging scheme. Christian charity @Home4Gd says there's an "urgent" need to overhaul the system, which is currently looking after over 80,000 children in England.
📢 Big news! We've published a new report on supported lodgings 📢
Read the report and find out more about supported lodgings here: homeforgood.org.uk/supported…

Met a neighbour yesterday who explained the implications for him and 2 young kids of the £20 UC cut.
Less to spend on basic foods. Afraid to use heating.
I don't have the answers but it's important we all recognise what impact this will have on those with the least.
