🥹🙌🏻🙌🏻 And how timely in a week where @TheIFS publishes their findings that the closure of youth clubs has not been cost-effective; for every £1 saved from closures, there are associated losses of nearly £3 due to forgone returns to education and crime costs. Who’dv guessed. 🤷🏻♀️.
From a youth club to Wembley Arena. Thank you for dancing with us London. Thank you for turning that room into a temple of joy. And to everyone that danced with us on this tour. God Bless you all. With love .Femi, TJ, Joe, Ife and James . EZ to the world

They are SO GOOD 😊 Bravo, bravo to whatever amazing teacher has made this happen!! @YsgolTreganna.
They’re back….The performance the hugely talented @YsgolTreganna choir had been rehearsing for in the Senedd when spotted by the PM. Now singing before the King & Queen #senedd25. Worth watching the end - moment of the day delivered rather brilliantly by @ElinCeredigion

Still on a high after @ARKSchoolsMusic ‘Inspiring Excellence’ showcase on Saturday. The richest of musical tapestries presented with generosity to an audience who’d traveled from all over the country. Only possible with the commitment and skill of teachers, artists and Alumni.

Holly bringing it home as always. @HollyCairnsTD.
Never again. The words we say:.Every time a woman is violently attacked.Every time a woman is brutality killed.And every time an abuser walks free from court with a slap on the wrist. What will it take for women's safety to be prioritised?. Women are fed up of hearing never again

Hard not to think of beautiful Aisling this week. They all said ‘never again’ then. Yet here we are. Natasha O’Brien should be going about her life, not receiving standing ovations for ‘bravery’ from the only people who have the power for change. 💔 🕯️ .

Two days of deep rehearsal time in gloriously sunny Ashford. Primary pupils have written, directed and designed their own production and it’s a joy to see it coming together. Youth agency and careful stewardship shining through @ArkSchools

I nearly managed to let it go but …It’s kind of unforgivable for the *actual* Arts Council to publish a post of this importance with this imaging. And then to cite it as being the way it is for Artistic reasons? How you do anything is how you do everything.
@educationgovuk The new Music Hub programme is a major milestone to achieving the National Plan for Music Education’s vision that children and young people should be able to sing, create music, and progress their musical interests.

Youth music culture is ALIVE and full of young people who love singing in all its forms. There are teachers all over the country brilliantly creating & sustaining opportunities for their pupils to bring that love through the school gates. Thanks for letting me share @ISM_trust!.
