  • 💙 We believe that children in care, where it's safe, should be able to live close to home so they remain connected with their community. However, in England, more than 18,000 children in care are currently separated from their communities. Break has extensive experience in high-quality provision across East Anglia, and our strategy here is simple: to support more local young people to have the stable, nurturing home and loving people in their lives that they need to thrive. 📢 You can help drive change by signing Become’s petition urging the government to: 🔹 Collect and report clear data on why children are moved miles from home. 🔹 Develop national and local strategies to ensure there are the right homes in the right places. Sign the petition 👉 https://loom.ly/9E0VW14 #Petition #childrenshome #fostercare

  • AMAZING FUNDRAISER ALERT! ⛰️💪 Chris is taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks for Break! Having never done anything like this, he's been training really hard and is looking forward to taking on this endurance challenge! "I'm really excited! It's something I've always wanted to do, but I know it's going to be really challenging so I've been getting the training and mileage in. I have sore legs for sure right now! But it's all for a good cause and it's great to support a local charity. One of my relatives was in care when they were younger so I know first-hand how life-changing the work that Break do for young people can be." If you want help Chris along way visit his fundraising page - every donation makes a difference. https://lnkd.in/ec8yk_pK
