Fresh off the back of starring in @odysseymovie, we are excited to announce that the incredible Himesh Patel is narrating our new animated short film called Elephant In The Room. 🐘 A massive thank you to Himesh for his support. 🫶 Keep an eye out for the film when it drops across all of our social media channels tomorrow! 👀 #ElephantInTheRoom #Animation #Poverty #SummerHolidays

We were delighted to welcome Prime Minister Andy Burnham to the Meadows Nursery in Sheffield, a pioneering partnership between Save the Children, Sheffield Hallam, Sheffield City Council and Watercliffe Meadow Primary School. As well as meeting some of the feistiest toddlers around, who insisted on high fives and showing the PM their craft skills, he was there to launch his new devolution plan, with Chancellor John Healey and First Secretary of State, Louise Haigh. The deal enables English mayors to keep a share of the taxes collected in their area which they can spend on local communities. The mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard, who was there to support the devolution plan is already working closely with Save the Children on our joint child-focused investment fund and a regional child poverty action plan. We hope now that with more money staying within each English region, mayors will take the opportunity to tackle child poverty and invest to give children a better start in life.

Congratulations @andyburnham on becoming the new Prime Minister. Please make sure your door is always open for children and families, like it has been up to this point in your role as the Mayor of Greater Manchester. We hope you work tirelessly to put children at the heart of policy making, and give them the childhoods they deserve and the foundations to reach their full potential.
