Mum's heart will remain ❤️
The volunteers were at Parliament today to hear the government announce that our beautiful memorial is to be made permanent. It was an emotional day, as we have fought so long and hard to ensure that our beloved dead are not forgotten. We are grateful and happy. ❤️

Even when I was Archbishop of Wales and working with new bishops, I used to say, not realising quite how true it was, 'One of the things you will do as a bishop is disappoint people'.

You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage.
Instead, it's important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages.

Scrapping the two child limit is the quickest way for government to lift half a million children out of poverty
Every child deserves the best possible start in life

We’ve joined 100+ others in calling for the government to fully scrap the two-child limit. Every child deserves the best start in life. By fully scrapping the two-child limit the government can deliver a decisive shift in children’s opportunities, and in the UK's potential.
