#Day21 walking is a meditation to me.some days it's about being still or gentle, other times it's faster and about release and letting go. When walking today it was windy and wet yet I chose to walk along the sea front and the sea reflected some of my emotions. Self care is important to me ❤️

#Day11 taking part in @fatima.whitbread Fatima's 29 mile February and what a great start to Monday morning and a new week with @actionforchildrenuk

Yehudis grew up in London as part of the Charedi (Ultra-orthodox) Jewish community. When she disclosed her experiences of sexual abuse by a family friend, she and her family were punished and faced ostracisation. In 2011, Yehudis set up a charity supporting other Jewish victims of sexual abuse across the UK, providing them with information that was otherwise inaccessible to them. Through her work in the sector, she developed a working group to establish the Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week, the first of its kind in the UK. The week focuses on amplifying the voices of those with lived experiences and prompting resources, services, and campaigns about sexual abuse and sexual violence. #ItsNotOk Yehudis chaired the Met Police Independent Advisory Group for Rape & Serious Sexual Offences, ensuring victims from all cultures and communities are represented in policing and referral pathways were established for victims that engaged in the criminal justice system. Yehudis works as a Policy Officer and is completing a Masters at Goldsmiths University in Domestic Violence & Sexual Abuse. breakingthecycletostepforward@gmail.com https://sexualabuseandsexualviolenceawarenessweek.org/ https://survivorsofabuse.org.uk/ https://stepforwardpractice.co.uk

Following Fatuma Whitbread's acceptance on BBC Sports Personality Of The Year, of the Helen Rollason award.

As a Care Leaver myself, this is a very important campaign, as I experienced the everyday prejudice of growing up in care and even today in some scenarios. In addition to the low expectations for my future and lack of support at 16 when living in a hostel. Can you help Fatima Whitbread raise £1750,000 to support children and young people in the care system. To harness the power of “ONE VOICE” by giving young people in care a voice and by creating a collaborative, cohesive and meaningful partnership between all the agencies and organizations involved so that: All children (who for whatever reason are taken into care) are treated with respect and compassion. They are given the opportunity to fulfil their positive, potential in an environment which fosters self-worth and confidence. That the system provides the necessary support and resources to give each youngster the skills, enthusiasm and confidence to become productive members of society.
