The launch of #FreeLoavesOnFridays was a dream. I cried more times than I can count and was reunited with my childhood social worker. Despite decades apart she was just as I remembered. ♥️ Thank you to everyone who made the book possible. ♥️ @RebekahPierre92 @lemnsissay
This evening, everybody at the Free Loaves on Fridays book launch was asked to respond to what they had heard, writing one action on a piece of jigsaw. This was to symbolise that only as a collective can we influence change. Everyone, no matter their role, has a piece to offer.
Congratulations to our Children’s Services colleague Sue Williams who has been recognised by @BASW_UK in their #ASW2024 awards. Interested in a career in Children’s Services? Join our Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ team at orlo.uk/szhRp

An honour to be the mc for the most moving book launch I have attended for years. It brought me to the brink of tears a good few times. The audience too. @FoundlingMuseum #fiveloavesonfridays
The gift of generosity, thank you Lemn. @BASW_UK @RebekahPierre92 @TogetherTrust @article_39 @VavaTampa @KatyJacksonUK @lemnsissay
Excited to be at the #Freeloavesonfriday launch this evening!
At tonight’s #FreeLoavesOnFridays launch I will get to meet two of my heroes: @lemnsissay and my childhood social worker, Gail. Needless to say I’m overwhelmed with emotions. Thank you for making this possible, @RebekahPierre92 ♥️
Pleased to see a nod to Free Loaves on Fridays in this important @guardian piece - as well as two of our 100 authors @ChanBillson and @lemnsissay: theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Shout out to all involved in #PromoteTheVote & who did what they could to help people register to vote. And an idea, how about health & social care commissioners ensure a contractual commitment from all providers about ensuring people who use their services are supported to vote?
Oh how the tables turn! When I was 16, I came home to a letter on the kitchen table from my foster carer. It said I had four days to find somewhere else to live. Today, the book in which I write about this experience is pictured here on my own kitchen table. And it is OUT TODAY.

An absolute honour to be asked to read my poem at the #FreeloavesonFridays launch at the @FoundlingMuseum Massive kudos to @RebekahPierre92 for putting together such a beautiful anthology!
Had a blast at the launch for #FreeLoavesOnFridays tonight at the Foundling Museum tonight, edited by the indomitable @RebekahPierre92 ☀️☀️☀️ A landmark piece of publishing, an anthology of writing from all care experienced voices. We love to see it!
This evening, everybody at the Free Loaves on Fridays book launch was asked to respond to what they had heard, writing one action on a piece of jigsaw. This was to symbolise that only as a collective can we influence change. Everyone, no matter their role, has a piece to offer.
