📣 Have your say about the future!
Are you a child or young person living in England? This is your chance to make your voice heard 💬
The Children’s Commissioner has launched “The Big Future” – a short survey where you can share:
✨ What life is like for you today
✨ What makes you happy (or worried)
✨ What changes you want to see in the future
It only takes 5 minutes and your answers will help shape decisions that affect children and young people across the country.
💡 There are no right or wrong answers – just your honest views.
👉 Take part here: https://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/the-big-future/
Every voice matters – let’s make sure yours is heard 💙

For the first time, hundreds of thousands of children will be eligible to vote in the next general election at age 16, the biggest change to the franchise

⏱️ It's almost time for our care leavers sponsored run, Miles for Memories, this Saturday 18 April to help raise funds for activities to help them stay connected with each other. Have you seen their inspirational video yet? Hear their stories of what it's like to manage independently at such a young age, both financially and emotionally. They are asking for small contributions to create memories such as cinema trips that build friendships, day outings that broaden their world, Christmas meals that ensure no one is alone, and residential adventures that grow confidence.

Please give what you can on their go fund me page - https://www.gofundme.com/f/lancashire-care-leavers-on-the-move-miles-for-memories?attribution_id=sl:a06f320e-d095-41c4-b8d9-4e0568011956&lang=en_GB&ts=1773225356&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp20_t2&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=qr_code
