Earlier in the week, we briefly mentioned one of our changemakers Autism Champions CIC 🐞 In light of neurodiversity celebration week and it coming to an end we wanted to share a little bit about them as a charity and all the amazing work they're doing for inclusivity across Oxfordshire.🙌 They are a team of experienced teachers, support workers, parents, and autistic adults who have specialist training and/or lived experience of autistic children and young people in mainstream and specialist schools. Working with teachers, children, parents/carers, and other related professionals, they explore and create strategies to help the children develop, learn, and succeed at home, school, college, or their place of employment. They work with a range of ages, whether they have a diagnosis or not.🐞 Want to know more? Check out their website: https://lnkd.in/eXxKxkYa

Today, our Senior Youth Partnerships Manager, David Cruchley, and our Youth Engagement Manager, Becky Critchley, were out and about in the Great British Sunshine. ☀️ They visited the Bicester public health/Cherwell District Council meeting to present on the work we have been doing to support the community. It is always empowering to be in spaces to learn and to share. We're excited for the developments for young people within our county.

We would love it if you could join us in signing this petition from Shelter for the Renters’ Rights Bill, which would finally fix renting! Angela Rayner − Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government − we need you to make sure that the government doesn’t miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to fix renting. She must make sure that renters’ rights are at the heart of this bill. Only then will our broken renting system be fixed for future generations. We believe in a future where EVERY child and young person has the skills, connections, and support they need to thrive. Fixing the rents will allow all young people to thrive and will help to reduce youth homelessness: https://ow.ly/W6MG50VkBl7
