Children and Families in NI Deserve Better: Statement on Stormont's Anti-Poverty Plan As Stormont’s Anti-Poverty Strategy consultation closes Save the Children NI insist children & families deserve a total rewrite of the plan.

Our statement as the public consultation on Stormont's poverty plan comes to an end. Over 90 organisations in the sector have said it needs a total rewrite. Surely the Executive will listen? www.savethechildren.org.uk/news/media-c...

With just a few days to go until the close of Stormont’s consultation on its draft anti-poverty strategy, we’ve been to some women’s support groups in Belfast to find out what people think of it. They told us about the suffering & pressure being felt in communities… 🗣️

A privilege to work on this project with schools in North Belfast, my team at Save and the awesome Young at Art. Amazing how giving time and space to listen to children reframes how we collectively reimagine learning, education and community. More of this please. #listen2learn #listeningisleadership

On the train heading to work and with all going on in the world I just wanted to repeat the statement, as much for myself as anyone else, that: CHILD POVERTY IS NOT INEVITABLE, IT IS A CHOICE.

Fantastic new hire at @savechildrenuk.bsky.social Shaun, our new ‘Head of Wool’ #christmasjumperday

It’s a new week in our #ListentoLearn project where children in north Belfast tell us how they best learn. Lead artist Duncan Ross from @Young_at_Art who are facilitating the creative sessions, gives us a glimpse into the creative thoughts so far… 🚀✨💫

🚨 We’ve just landed over in this space and are keen to get the word out about our new #ListentoLearn project. We’re working with primary school children in north Belfast to understand how they learn best. They’re sharing in creative workshops run by Young at Art. Can’t wait to hear their thoughts!

Good morning! If you've found my 'UK news and politics' starter pack useful to get you up and running on @bsky.app, please spread the word to new users by giving this a repost.

Cheers!
