Tablet Live Lecture: Childhood begins at home
Tablet Live Lecture in partnership with the Cardinal Hume Centre
Join Dame Rachel de Souza – Children’s Commissioner for England, at the Cardinal Hume Centre for a thought-provoking 40-minute lecture exploring the often life-changing impact of homelessness on children.
Dame Rachel will reflect on the challenges too many children and their families face today, the importance of community support, and the practical steps needed to help every child reach their potential.
The lecture will be followed by a 20-minute conversation between Dame Rachel and journalist Peter Stanford, offering an opportunity to explore these themes further.
Join us for Mass before the event and a drinks reception afterwards.
