This quote sums up better than I can what I feel about the situation in too many British schools and presents a call to arms for us about how to reverse these trends.

#GiveAnX was on BBC Breakfast! Proud that the UK’s largest youth-led voter registration campaign has been featured in national media @mylifemysay. If you haven’t already, make sure that you register now qrco.de/giveanx

Brilliant work sharing this folks. Using registertovote.service.gov.u… I can see that since it started going out there, the number of people registering has gone up by over 200 per 5 mins, it's been out for an hour so that's likely 2,400 new registrants due to spreading word! Bonza.
URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts... 1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u… 2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages. 3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing ) 4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

Last week our Deputy Headboy suggested a non uniform day if Wrexham were promoted, we kept it under wraps as we didn't want to tempt fate. This coming Friday will be a wear red / sports kit with a £2 donation going to charity l, there will also be a special lunch menu

Cricket parents come in all shapes and sizes; mine were never great with technical help, but are brilliant at letting me fill their house with kit I can't fit in my own. What heroes!

A huge thank you to @josephholt for working with us in Manchester! Cady shares her thoughts: "My placement has been going really well. The general atmosphere is really good. Talking to customers wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I would actually enjoy working here!"

Thank you to our friends at Delta Capita, for nominating us as their charity of the year and kicked their fundraising off with a Christmas party. Staff and past gappies joined them at their Wrexham office for fun and games. A lovely evening was had by all.
