This month we will be celebrating National Children’s Day UK held on Sunday 10th May, where it is aked that families, schools, charities, professionals, communities and policymakers, across the UK to come together and celebrate childhood – and to confront, collectively and constructively, the growing challenges facing children and young people today.

The organisation notes that “children make up one fifth of the uk population – and 100% of our future.  Yet the evidence is increasingly clear :  too many children are growing up under pressure, with a long-term consequences for society as a whole”   Wendy Ellyatt, the founder of national children’s day stated that “National Children’s day uk is about remembering what really matters.  If we want a healthier, kinder, more resilient society, we must start by creating the conditions for children to flourish – not someday but now”
