The intention is for the funds raised to be given to a charity called 'Just for Kids Law' who exist to help children and young people overcome all the difficulties they face, from problems at school and issues with immigration status to trouble with the police. They are also the charity representing Child Q, whose appalling treatment from her school and the police, being strip searched, has left us all heartbroken and devastated.Follow this link to support and learn more about this initiative.

#AD This special episode of Dope Black Dads is sponsored by Starling Bank. Today, we are joined by my children, Blake, 6, and Ocean, 4, who embark on a daring mission to learn about money with the help of the Starling Kite card. Starling Kite is a debit card made for 6-16 year olds and linked to your own Starling account, all with the aim of helping kids learn to spend like an adult and understand the value of money. In the #StarlingKidsTakeover Challenge, Blake and Ocean took over the family budget! We learned so much without it feeling like a lesson, everything went swimmingly, that is until my own kid denied me a haircut! They learned enough to be reticent to splashing cash on their dad! Tune in to hear how our journey went, check out this handy worksheet to help you complete the challenge https://www.starlingbank.com/docs/KidsTakeover.pdf or learn more about the Kite Card here https://www.starlingbank.com/current-account/kite-debit-card-for-kids/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=IGstory&utm_campaign=sm.  Hosted on Acast.
