@GWRHelp please can you explain why trains are completely inaccessible for families- have been asked to fold down pushchair for 5 month old son due to GWR policy. My son cannot sit independently in a seat. Are young children not allowed to travel with GWR?
I am unable to reserve a space for a pushchair in advance but able to for bicycles- so as raised by @lucyjones due to policy bicycles have more rights than my son #matrescence

A really nicely written article around my journey of reconnecting with my dad and the postive impact that it has had. As well the importance of items even if its something small
For me photos helped to give me a picture of me as baby.

Thank you for resharing this blog post still such an important topic to think about including in relation to children in care.
During #ChallengePoverty Week, we’re re-sharing Tiegan Boyens’ @Ginger_Adoptee blog post, which discussed why a greater understanding of poverty is needed to help make real change for children and families: ow.ly/1aie50HwJWk #TurnTheTide #childpoverty
