Join the Break Book Club for 25% off any book, including this month's recommendation 📚

August's Book Club genre is romance, and readers are loving Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn.

Imagine telling a little white lie at work... then finding yourself pretending to be happily married at a marriage counselling retreat.

Scottie and Wilder's fake relationship delivers awkward competitions, hilarious misunderstandings and plenty of chemistry, but readers say it's the warmth beneath the comedy that really makes this one stand out.

"The characters were so entertaining. And when the romance finally turned up the heat, it was worth the wait."

See if you can spot this one in your local Break charity shop! Every book sold helps young people leaving care in their next chapter.

Recent headlines about children’s homes have focused heavily on cost.
Those questions matter. But behind every figure is a young person who may need extraordinary levels of care because they have experienced extraordinary levels of harm.

𝐍𝐨𝐭 because they are difficult. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 because they are beyond hope.

To understand the cost, 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝. So, when you see a £17,000 headline, what does that actually provide?

Break CEO Rachel Cowdry shares her perspective on what’s behind the headlines https://f.mtr.cool/uqsnzqndqe

Some exciting news...it looks like we may be opening a new home! 🏡

Our team recently spent some time there to start thinking about how we want the home to look and feel.

Fynn Cornish, Associate Director of Care said: "There is something really important about being in the space together. Having eyes on, getting a feel for the home, and starting to imagine not just how it will work, but how we want it to feel for the young people who will live there.

"It’s one of the things I find most rewarding about this work. Being alongside people who are deeply passionate about creating more than a service. A home that feels safe, warm, nurturing, and full of care, where relationships are at the heart of everything we do.

"There is lots to think about and plenty of planning ahead, but it was a warm reminder that playfulness, curiosity, and a bit of fun matter too.

"Naturally, I took that responsibility very seriously and tested out the garden swing!

"Exciting times ahead, and a real privilege to be part of the journey."
