Right now, there are children who need a safe place to call home. By fostering, you can provide stability, care, and the support they need to move forward with hope.
It’s not always easy but it’s one of the most powerful ways to make a real difference in a child’s life.

The length of time you’ll foster a child can vary. Some children may stay for just a few days or weeks in an emergency placement, while others may need a stable home for months or even longer.
Every situation is different, but your support, no matter how long, can make a lasting difference in a child’s life 💙

Glycerol is often used to create the slush effect. But in high quantities, especially to small children, glycerol can cause shock, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and loss of consciousness.
That’s why slushies containing glycerol are not recommended for children under seven. And, older children should be limited to just one slush a day.

As exam season approaches, many young people rely on revision techniques that feel productive but offer limited long-term impact.

Rereading notes and highlighting can create a false sense of confidence, leaving gaps in understanding when it matters most.

Our latest guide shares simple, evidence-informed strategies to support more effective revision, including:
• Retrieval practice to strengthen memory
• Spaced revision to improve retention
• Building manageable and consistent routines

With practical advice for parents and educators, the guide helps create a balanced approach that supports both confidence and wellbeing.

A child’s behavior is often a reflection of how full (or empty) their emotional cup feels.
Connection, validation, and encouragement go a long way. 💛 🥤
Filling their cup doesn’t take big moments, just small, consistent ones.
The way we listen, validate, and connect becomes their inner voice.

Violent clips, online conflicts and shock-value challenges can spread rapidly across social media platforms. Many young people are exposed to this content through algorithms or messaging groups, even when they were not actively searching for it.

Our latest guide explores how viral trends can encourage risky behaviour, normalise violence and create anxiety or fear within communities.

The guide also highlights:
• The emotional and legal risks of sharing violent content
• How social media algorithms amplify harmful material
• Practical advice for parents and educators
