In this episode of Sparking Change, we speak to June Tinsley, Head of Advocacy and Support Engagement at Bernardos Ireland, about the charity’s new LOST CHILDHOOD campaign, highlighting that 1 in 7 children are lost to homelessness – a shocking statistic – though she mentions that this is probably an underestimate. Families in the highest need are often those who find it most difficult to access the necessary care; making support services more easily available to families would give children a better outcome. Dil and June discuss the parent-child bond and how, when nurtured, the repercussions for the child can be phenomenal.
