@PaulBrandITV @itvnews Congratulations @PaulBrandITV. I hope one day you will cover the historic discrimination of deaf athletes. 25th Deaflympics takes place in November but for some reason the UK Government keep it hidden. Athletes are fighting for their future. #Tokyo #athletes #equality

DAY 1340 #MyChallenge to the Govt @DCMS - @lisanandy @Steph_Peacock @TNLUK Young people have a right to a voice BUT what happens if no matter how loud they shout they are hidden they are isolated they are #discriminated. This is the reality for #deaf children @BBCOne @BBCNWT
We hope that you agree that this video shares a powerful message, that our young people do not have access to the PE, sport and play that they need to live happy, healthy and active lives. Together, we can do more to support our young people. ❤️ There are so many factors that come into play when we think of why our young people are not active, from the increased use of devices to the fact that playgrounds are often left empty. You can watch out short film here and then head on over to our website to learn more about this campaign: We'd like to give special thank you to the following for their support with this project; Funded by The Mercers’ Charitable Foundation Made in collaboration with Media Trust Films Directed by James Arden Production Company - Brother Film #HealthyMovers

61% of young people waiting for mental health support stop attending school or college, according to our research. This is one of the many consequences of an under resourced mental health system.

Each sign a memory etched within me. How different things could have been @DCMS - @lisanandy @Steph_Peacock @TNLUK. 1338 DAYS I have challenged you to change a failed govt policy NO support NO funding NO respect is what you have allowed. Don’t let this happen to anyone else
A child or young person might not always tell you when they are struggling but there may be signs that they are. If you recognise any of the signs and feel a child or young person you know might be struggling use the #NottAlone website for support. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek
