We went along to a watch party last night for the #CelebrityTraitors final - and ended up being interviewed by BBC news. I correctly predicted Joe would be voted out and it would be win for the traitors 🎭
An excellent final - it’s been a great series!

I was delighted to be at the launch of “Young Carers in Space” - Ana Graça’s latest picture book. Ana has worked closely with young carers to create this fanatastic book.
The launch was at the iconic The Golden Hinde in London and the boat was filled with young carers who loved every moment.

Since 1981 only a third of recommendations from reports commissioned by the @ukgovernment.bsky.social on racism have been implemented.
This is not good enough.

Delighted to attend the second day of Fatima Whitbread’s UK Campaign One Voice Summit today.

A full day of interviewing at our @childrenssociety.bsky.social national office mixed with lunch with our Disrupting Exploitation programme.
As the programme sadly comes to an end, it was good to pause and reflect on the last six years, and how we continue to be champions of change.

Excited to be at a #TheTraitorsUK watch party tonight - I am soooo excited for the final.
My guesses so far this series haven’t been great, but tonight I predict Charlotte and Frankie cause chaos, get banished, and it’s a well-deserved faithful win 🏆
