💚🥹 THIS IS WHAT WORDS DO HURT IS ALL ABOUT! 🥹💚

Watching the @itvtynetees ITV News footage from this very special day brought tears to our eyes. But this time, they were tears of happiness and pride. ❤️

Watching Catherine and Thomas, two young people who know first-hand how much bullying hurts, standing in front of a classroom sharing their experiences and teaching children the power of kindness was incredibly emotional. 💚

After everything they’ve been through, seeing them turn something so painful into something so positive is something we never imagined.

But the most beautiful part? 🥹

The children’s faces lighting up! Holding the 🏆 trophy, jumping into the race car and giving Catherine and Thomas high fives.

The smiles, laughter and excitement were simply priceless! ❤️

Hopefully, those children will remember that day for years to come. Not just because they met a racing driver, but because they learned that kind words can make a huge difference.

A massive thank you to Matt from MGH Offshore Ltd for becoming the first business to support our school education programme. 💚

🏁 This weekend Thomas heads to Oulton Park, and just imagine those children cheering him on, watching the very same Words Do Hurt race car they were sitting in!

From watching our own children cry because of bullying, to watching them make other children smile. 🥹❤️

As parents, there really are no words to describe that feeling.

💚 Our little plan to make a difference is starting to work.

🎥 Watch the ITV News footage and see just how special this day really was! ❤️

💚 WORDS DO HURT
🏁 Never let anyone ruin your dreams.

Ten years ago Alice Ruggles from Leicestershire was murdered by her ex-partner, after months of stalking. Trimaan Dhillon drove down from his army barracks near Edinburgh, broke into Alice’s flat in Gateshead and killed her. She’d called the police several days before her death, but it was marked as medium risk. Alice’s family are now calling for changes to stalking laws. The Home Office has been contacted for comment.

She pays tribute to her colleagues Matthew and Tom who died after a car that was driving the wrong way on the A66 collided with theirs. She said “the public would be shocked” to know that officers are still being assaulted even after their deaths.

Places like this youth club give the children a chance to have fun without having to worry about their safety.
