After the Grenfell Tower disaster many local playworkers helped children through play. Play supported children through an unthinkable time. As the Grenfell report is released today, we remember those who lost their lives and the survivors who live with the painful memories.
On the tube with the jolliest driver making announcements does make a difference 😃

We know the England team losing the #EURO2024 is the worst outcome for some, for others however it's the reality of waiting for their partner to come home.
Football doesn't cause #DomesticAbuse, abusers do.
Share our helpline so women know they are not alone 👇🏼👇🏿

Shared a hilarious moment tonight when the waitress gave the apple crumble to my friend, then looked at me and said "tart".
