Looking for a New Year's resolution, how about volunteering as an IV for a child in care? Share a slice, swing a club, walk the dog, give a child your time   https://t.co/azMFNd7kSF   https://t.co/GNkkMlCmwC @IV_Network @NYASServices @BenTwomeyNYAS @sluppie

Compliment of the day. Dad you are like a big child. Having fun at the Munich Verkehrszentrum (transport) museum https://t.co/DeXuFYQYeJ @DeutschesMuseum

Great resource for educators from @BBC Teach to raise awareness of the experiences of looked-after or adopted children and young people and challenge stigma and negative stereotyping. Voice of the child is captured with animated testimony https://t.co/S9r6YEFje9

Out jogging in Munich,#holidayrunning could do with one of these signs at home in Totnes @runningpunks @UKRunChat

Great trains in Austria. Free chocolate keeping the children sweet.

Morning run around Lake Bled. Heading to the trim? station.

Interailing/'youth' hosteling at 58 with tearaway 13 year old son and truculent 10 year old daughter and my wife. Could be dream holiday or divorce. Made it to Strasbourg. Next stop Lake Bled in Slovenia.

I hope you found Scruffy. A friend's dog Benji went missing on Thursday night and the Totnes community of dog lovers came out to find her. @writtenbyrach Dana the lady in the wheelchair was one of them.

@IDickson258 @JohnRadoux Hi Ian, do you know the books by Terence O'Neill & Tom O'NEILL brothers of Dennis whose death in foster care led to 48 Children Act. Inspired Agatha Christie to write mousetrap. Tom became a social worker. https://t.co/e3Y0B6M5pK

Hi Ben, listening to @theJeremyVine on the way to visit care leaver and trying to find him a home is tricky in Devon. @BBCRadio2 Jeremy Vine is discussing renting today and planking. Both might be up your street.

Always looking for volunteer independent visitors like Ruth in Devon. Short of a campanologist and Dartmoor type, along with someone to share a slice 🍕, cut up a cake 🍰, knitnnatter 🧶, play ball with, ⚽ 🏀 🏈 🏀 🏏 https://t.co/zwSEohRAMM @NYASServices @BenTwomeyUK @sluppie

Here at BHCC we have arranged for a memorial game to take place for our irreplaceable teammate and friend, Barney. The game will be captained by closest friends of Barney - Ed Smith and Jakarta Allen-Skinner🏏

As volunteers week ends Becca says "What have I learnt as an IV for a child in care? That it's ok for us both to be teenagers at heart - to have fun. Keep promises made & don't be impatient with the time it can take to build your relationship." @NYASServices @IV_Network @NCVO
