As a mother and someone who has always cared deeply about protecting children, I’ve found this year especially hard to take in. It’s easy to feel helpless in the face of the relentless news cycle, with images filling our social feeds from places like Ukraine, Sudan and Gaza.
But through my work this year with Save the Children, I’ve learnt not only about the scale of the challenges children in conflict face, but also about the incredible, innovative work underway in the UK to address them. So instead of helplessness, I feel a cautious sense of hope.
