Our new children’s campaign for face equality has got off to a flying start. Last week all the children were here in London filming the last scenes for the forthcoming CBBC documentary and spotting their own poster on the tube.

Optimism for the year ahead, despite the chill
What a start to the year – cold and freezing outside here in London, Guernsey airport frozen, so home seems far away, mixed messages on the economy, a winning draw in the Test match in Cape Town and lots of optimism for the year ahead at Changing Faces!
