In order to help youth transition from foster care into their own safe space, it is imperative to identify and locate such housing. That's why policy #2 is to produce more and better-suited housing for youth.

Does your business support wraparound care providers? Now is the time to consider how you want to get involved in the 2024 Club Central Conference and Out of School Club Awards! We have conference and award sponsorships available and are always looking for interesting speakers. This is the best way to show your support and connect with the sector. And it is no exaggeration to say the investment in the National Wraparound Childcare Programme is a real game-changer. The sector has two things it has not had for a while. Hope and, on a more practical level, money. It feels a bit brash to talk about money like that, but there is a huge focus on making the investment sustainable. That means teams are well trained. It means organisations are efficient. It means processes are slick. It means we make ourselves stand out from the competition even more. In short, it means we are becoming every more professional. To me, it is exciting times and I could not be more happy that I am bringing everyone together under the theme of 'creating sustainable futures'. Happy to have a chat to anyone who wants to discuss sponsorship opportunities. It is my intention to make this a true partnership working arrangement. It's a circle - the better I make the conference for delegates, the better it is for sponsors - and the better I make it for sponsors, the better it is for delegates. Drop me a message for more info!

This week, I had the opportunity to visit a community centre in one of the most deprived areas of Manchester, and a school in one of the most affluent areas of Manchester. One key discussion at both venues was the lack of funding. Schools and community centres play a vital role in our society, but they are often underfunded. This is especially true in deprived areas, where schools and community centres are often the only lifeline for children and families. The lack of funding has a number of negative consequences. For example, it can lead to: ❌ Larger class sizes ❌Fewer resources for teachers and students ❌Less provision for extracurricular activities ❌Reduced support for vulnerable children and families This can have a significant impact on the lives of children and young people. Children who attend underfunded schools are more likely to drop out of education early, and they are less likely to achieve their full potential. Community centres also play a vital role in providing support for children and families. They offer a range of services, such as after-school clubs, homework support, and parenting classes. However, many community centres are struggling to stay afloat due to a lack of funding. We need to collectively look at how we can address the issue of funding for schools and community centres. This is not just a moral issue; it is also an economic issue. Investing in children and young people now will pay off in the future. What can we do? There are a number of things that we can do to address the issue of funding for schools and community centres. These include: ✔ Increasing government funding for schools and community centres ✔Providing tax breaks for businesses that donate to schools and community centres. ✔Encouraging individuals to donate to schools and community centres Raising awareness of the importance of funding for schools and community centres By working together, we can ensure that all children have access to the resources and support they need to succeed. #education #community #funding

The Chancellor has committed £165 million to boost children's homes capacity. Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt announced £45 million funding for local authorities to create 200 additional children’s home placements, alongside a £120 million investment to maintain secure children’s homes. 105 million has been set for 15 new special free schools to create over 2,000 additional places for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) across England. London's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) will also receive £75 million over three years from 2025 onwards to allow a “joint strategy to tackle serious violence among young people”. Despite these grand investments, points have been raised of the lack of funding towards the local services young people rely on everyday. #budget #government #chancellor #investment #charity #youthservices

Success as a nonprofit is all about community partnership! We were provided the opportunity for a donation of 20 suitcases (and a full tub of toiletries); which, is not our exact "lane" when working with foster youth; so, we brought them to the amazing OCJ Kids for foster youth aging out of group homes. OCJ Kids fills the suitcases up with all kinds of necessity items that youth need as they transition from foster care and journey into adulthood. #fosteringheroes #fosteringheroesfoundation #partnership #partners #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitorganization #nonprofits #fostercare #fostercareawareness #fosteryouth #fosterchildren #fostering #nonprofitsuccess #nonprofit #nonprofitorganizations #nonprofitwork #nonprofitgrowth #nonprofitimpact #givingback #communitypartners #communitypartnership #communitypartnerships

And we’re off…….. #July1000 Day 1. Ride 1 1000 miles to ride to raise funds for a #Podcast room here at Manchester Youth Zone To put in some form of context, the #TourDeFrance (raced by professionals) is around 2200 miles, and they have support cars and teams 😂. I’m riding half of that and it’s just me and my water bottle I'm doing this because I want to help the #YoungPeople in this community and give them opportunities they may not readily have available if it weren't for the work we do here. We tell the kids that walk through our doors that where they grow up doesn’t determine their future, they do – and that’s what we’re here to achieve.  Manchester Youth Zone is in #Harpurhey, the 2nd worst ward in England for the effect of long-term deprivation on children. This means many are vulnerable to poor educational attainment, future worklessness and falling in to antisocial or offending behaviour. In the local area: Unemployment is 16.2% (national rate 7.5%) 48% of families live below the poverty line 11% of 16-18-year-olds are not in employment, education or training   The good news is we give young people countless opportunities to change that story for themselves. We believe young people can create their own futures by being supported to dream bigger and aim higher.  35.23 miles under the belt in 2 hrs 17 minutes. This is going to be a hard month! This will be the standard every day. Some days I may do more to enable a rest day but with 965 miles to go I can’t rest too much 😂 So with that, if you’re able to and would like to support my efforts please do. It’ll make the pain of walking up the stairs at work worth while! The link to do so is below. Thanks so much to those who have donated early to get this moving. https://lnkd.in/eWxBEjXg I won’t post every ride, as that’s just boring 😂😂 I will do a few though to keep those who are interested, up to date! If you want to keepo track here's a little tracker I've made.... https://lnkd.in/ensRqYyW #Challenge #Fundraising
