We are pleased to hear that the Conservative party are backing one of our key asks in our #GoneTooFar Campaign: a national sufficiency strategy, so that children don’t have to be moved miles from their support networks.

Now, we need action. We need change.

Not every team day has to be spreadsheets & strategy 😅

We dug into roles & responsibilities 👉 who does what + how we support each other. Then switched gears for some clay play 🎨

Messy, questionable… but fun! 💙 Can you guess what we made? 😂
