Rachel, Lucy and Martin are joined by a very special guest for the podcast's 50th episode. Dame Rachel de Souza is the Children's Commissioner for England, making her the most senior advocate for children and young people in the nation. She shares some sobering reflections from recent research into young people's experience of poverty, and encourages the Christian youth work community on their vital role in community transformation. Plus we have all the usual feedback, mayhem and (dis)organised fun. We really hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we loved making it!
