"To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed...The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…"

Why is it commonly accepted that if you go to the theatre and have to nip out in the middle you can’t get back in? It’s outrageous

These supremely talented theatre makers will be delivering our Drilling Diamonds programme as part of the DFE funded SAFE Taskforce programme in Newham schools next year. Participants will increase their confidence and sense of accomplishment, making them less susceptible to the appeal of gangs.

It really isn’t a good look when politicians try to get on the level by quoting pop stars!!!

Our tour of Flock has finished now and we are so pleased with the responses and the doors it has opened for us to continue working in the sector. This write up in @uk.theconversation.com perfectly describes issues, which we all, as the corporate parent of those in care, should consider.
Flock is a refreshing play about the complex reality of growing up in care
In England, at least one in three children who enter care are separated from their siblings. The voices of young people who have lived in care give this play its beating heart.
