GREATER LONDON YOUTH FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE MIKEY BHARJ SHOW

NEIL MCMILLAN is the Executive Director of Kibble, a charity established to care for and protect children. Neil is also an independent child protection consultant working for Save the Children and UNICEF. 

He has worked in East and Central Africa and China, Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Ukraine and Belarus.

Neil was in care. He got into trouble with the police. He did not go to school, and his childhood was not a very good time for him. Neil dropped out of school and worked mainly in the service industry. He wanted to do something in his community, but he did not know what.

He got into social work by accident. Neil got a part-time job in a youth club and found he was good at it. He found his vocation. It was then that he started getting qualified.

Anybody can come into care work, but they need to work on themselves first and go through a period of self-healing. It would be difficult to work with traumatised people if you have some unfinished business in your own life. Neil's international work has seen him work with children caught up in war, and he has worked in areas where he has had armed police escorts.

You can find Neil at www.kibble.org.

Mikey gives you a few tips if you have ever thought of writing. 

Listen to what Hemingway and others have said. Grabbing the reader and shaking them to hear what you have to say is a start.

What is SUCCESS at the age of four to ninety? You will find that four-year-olds and ninety-year-olds have more in common than you think!

And what of Einstein's children?  

Who is Siri?

Matthew Goodwin-Freeman, at 22, is set to become the youngest councillor in the UK, representing the Hatchend Ward in Harrow in the next local elections.

Matthew is here to talk about his work with the United Nations. He is our delegate for Change the World: Model United Nations, New York Conference 2021. There were 13,000 nominations, and Matthew won his place to represent all our youth. He will be championing climate change, health issues and other issues affecting UN nations. The conference has been put back until July, and we hope to get live updates when he is gets there.

Matthew also gives us his insight into the troubles in Ukraine and why we cannot intervene.

Matthew was a young carer. He talks about how this affected him and praises the unsung heroes out there, who, like him, had the responsibility for supporting a loved one at a very young age.

Matthew has promised to come back to let us know about the UN conference and update us on what is going on for him.

(Other councillors are available and can contact us to get on this podcast.

Here are Matthew's contact details.
