When UsforThem first launched back in May, amid mounting concerns about the devastating impact long term school closures and lockdown would have on children and their physical and mental wellbeing, we were three. We are now an army of tens of thousands of likeminded parents, grandparents, care givers and simply “people” spanning the length and breadth of the United Kingdom united by one common goal and purpose: to be the voice for our children and their future. The issues we are grappling with are complex, deep-rooted, and structural.

There’s a long journey ahead.
