My one wish for the the new government: Please remove the two child limit. No child deserves to be poorer because they are a sibling.

Today is #YoungCarersActionDay! Yesterday I was privileged to watch ‘Senses of Responsibility’ - a play by Lehkani Chirwa with @McrCarers. It was brilliant and powerful and beautiful! Made me think of a few things:

It's question time! Today for #WorldChildrensDay, we're raising awareness of inequalities in our city.
What percentage of children do you think are living in poverty in Manchester in 2022/23?
(No cheating by using google).

I first met Samuel Remi-Akinwale when he was just 15. He joined us on one of our media workshops.
It was great to catch up with him today at a Hope For Cheetham event in his role as co-ceo for @Young_MCR
Always knew how awesome! 🌟
@GraceCDyke Samuel says hi 👋

I love this so much! @AndyBurnhamGM it's totally not obvious on the @OurPassGM website that the idea came from a young person! You should advertise this, it's ace!
For young people 🤝🏼 By Young People
In 2016, I could not of predicted that when I spoke up, it would lead to the free travel for 16-18 year olds across Greater Manchester - with over 100,000 @ourpass_gm cards issued to young people across the city region.

Love love this report @clairemmadz wrote for us on #youthsocialaction in Manchester. She spoke to so many of our members to pull this together and it’s ✨brilliant ✨ #iwillFund @iwill_movement
📢New Report!
Sharing Power in a Place is a report written by @clairemmadz . It explores how young people from less affluent backgrounds are making a positive difference around our city, and how we can create more opportunities like this.

I have tweeted before about one of my bestest pals @florencemytum and her amazing ceramics! This month she’s been featured in @ELLEUK magazine and I am just sharing my pride (again) 🤩 Go get one for yourself before they sell out! florencemytum.com #supportsmallbusiness

(Her ripple mug is a short but wide mug with a circular handle. The body of the mug has beautiful tactile ripples all around it which mirror the shape of your fingers when you hold it. It’s a blush pink shade)
