Soooo REEEEEED!!! Do we know any painters and decorators? Can anyone help us make our loo a bit less well, overwhelmingly RED? We don't think it would take much, a few pots of white paint and a couple of afternoons? Let us know if you want to volunteer and do something amazing.

'Does TB cause HIV?' 'Can you catch TB by spitting?' 'Is TB hereditary' 'Is TB curable?' Our hearts sing when mums feel free to ask taboo questions without fear. Thank you to Newham's Public Health team for enabling accessible and equitable conversation cutting through shame to the good stuff.

Been chatting with some valued colleagues. Our shared perspective is that even the very best parenting interventions have only limited impact (at best) unless we pay attention to the family's social and economic context, adopt a trauma-focus, work relationally and flexibly, and implement well.

Wow, this week we have given away clothes, many brand new, to 162 families. This mini was beside himself to have superhero PJs. He could not stop grinning! Small moments of unbounded joy are what it is all about for #allourchildren and this week you all helped us provide some!

Wow, 102 families including 127 children came to clothes club yesterday. We do it again tomorrow. Thank you to everyone sending beautiful new clothes - a lovely woman appeared at the door yesterday and said 'I don't have grandchildren yet, so...' as she handed over brand new coats and snowsuits.

Only 3% of new housing in London is suitable for older and disabled people, and only 0.8% is suitable for wheelchair users. Yet 18% of the UK population is disabled and the numbers are going up all the time. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

When @jonsparkes.bsky.social says something - we should all listen - this man's track record of being right is miles and miles long through a varied career, about many many things. He is also, right that no child should be housed without a kitchen. www.change.org/p/no-child-i...

Would you have this for your Christmas dinner? This is the food provided to our mums in the catered hotels. All they want for Christmas is to be able to cook for themselves. #hungrychristmas #allourchildren

We don't want to stop talking about this until #Newham NRPF's practice changes. We believe they are still dangerous - we've seen no change. Join us in calling for the team to be shut down until it is proven safe. We can't let Mazeedat's life be in vain. www.irwinmitchell.com/news-and-ins...

Being unable to keep your child well - because you live in a place without a kitchen or any means to store or prepare food or even medicine or milk - is mental torture. Act with us to make sure all children live with a kitchen. themagpieproject.org/hope-for-a-h...

HUNGRY CHRISTMAS The health impact of living in hotels without a kitchen is devastating. Children housed by the home office are being given food that does not meet nutritional standards and this is making them sick. Will you help? Read how here: themagpieproject.org/hope-for-a-h...

Decision-makers frequently tell me they have been expected to conduct asylum interviews after only a handful of training days. Some have been recruited from supermarkets and call centres. Retention rates are abysmal. That has all seen quality levels plummet. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...
