Today is #selfiepledge day!  If you haven’t shared your #selfiepledge yet, then now’s the time.  Please share your pledge on social media and tell us the role-model that you want to be for young people.

You can download a #selfiepledge template here. Just write in the words that describe the role-model you want to be and share!

Thursday is #selfiepledge day.  It’s really simple.  Please just share the kind of role-model you want to be for our young people.  We all have a responsibility to speak and act in a way that positively impacts on the future generation.  Which you do you want them see?  You can download a #selfiepledge template here.

And we’d love you to help our message go viral by joining our Thunderclap on the day.  This is a bit like a flashmob. It shares the message all at the same time across multiple social media platforms helping us to reach tens of thousands of people at once.  It takes seconds to sign up and you can do so here.

Please share your #selfiepledge  and link to us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn throughout the day and we’ll share them all.

So nice to have been asked back for the fifth year in a row!  The UEA Social Work department has asked us to deliver a three-hour (!) seminar on the welfare benefit changes and system to BA and MA Social Work students.  Somehow we manage to inject some fun into it.  Let’s hope we can get good feedback again this year!

We’re always tinkering with ‘our look’, especially as a social enterprise we’re still refining our mission and who we want to be.  What do you think of this picture?  It’s real and not staged.

We want to know what kind of support that young people getting their own place need and want.  This may be young people leaving school, going to uni, leaving care or just moving into their own place.  This survey has three questions and will help us to build our case and reach more young people to prepare them to have the lives they want to lead.  Thanks for completing and sharing.
