It's crazy to me that school today: - put kids inside all day - feeds them terrible foods - make them sit 6+ hours - pretends they can pay attention to not-that-interesting topics for 6 hours And when they can't do the above, we medicate them.

We are very excited to have training provided by @RedZebraCommSol and @monicaboulton_ this will give us all the knowledge needed to fully register and have a clear structure on how this can continue to thrive for many years to come! as always thank you @LeighsFound!!

Thank you so much to @LeighsFound who donated towards the healthy snack bags 💛 The healthy snacks element was important. It was something the schools felt the children may be missing out on. Our project manager sourced healthy but appealing treats for the bags each week.

This past few months we have been partnership working with @umbrellacentre and @FoodFriendsUK on this mini project with help from @MinnoKitchen @LeighsFound & @Foodari 👇

I am thrilled to announce that we have been given funding to really kick start Keep Talking Services. Thank you @LeighsFound for believing in us. People like us wait for people like you. Someone to give them a chance and an opportunity to make a difference. @CCCUStudents


Very excited to announce I’ll be donating funding to @KentKeepTalking Alex is young, ambitious, focused and I think is going to achieve great things. I’ll be covering the cost of his banners, posters, gazebo, table, printed shirts and full training from @RedZebraCommSol

Amazing how much information and support you can get when you simply ask. Looking forward to conversations with @LeighsFound and @RedZebraCommSol next week. I want people to watch this idea become a reality and I plan to use #twitter to show this. #keeptalking #community
