We’ve launched the REACH plan. A moonshot to find out what works to prevent domestic abuse and support child victims. It starts with the £2.6m of funding we announced yesterday. This is for evaluations covering six domestic abuse interventions that support children & families. This is the first step towards a five year plan of making the UK the first country in the world to identify proven approaches to preventing domestic abuse & supporting children. We are proposing that £50 million over five years should come from government investment. As Foundations, we will commit £10 million and we believe the remaining £15 million can be found through investment from research funders, and trusts and foundations.

Good Read alert 👀 "When our institutions treat people as citizens rather than consumers, everything changes." Citizens opens up a new way of understanding ourselves and shows us what we must do to survive and thrive. The author Jon Alexander’s consultancy, the New Citizen Project, has helped revitalize some of Britain’s biggest organisations such as the Co-op, The Guardian and the National Trust. Here, with the New York Times bestselling writer Ariane Conrad, he shows how human history has moved from the Subject Story of kings and empires to the current Consumer Story of buying and selling. Now, he argues, it is time to enter the Citizen Story, where citizens are centered as the changemakers we need right now 💡 "Unleashing the power of everyone equips us to face the challenges of economic insecurity, climate crisis, public health threats, and polarization." #CommunityEngagement #Citizens

Universal basic income (UBI) stands at the forefront of economic debates, promising a world where every family receives a guaranteed income, potentially transforming the lives of children and parents alike. But beyond the allure of financial security for all, what does the evidence actually show about UBI's impact on families?
