This is such sad news. She was an inspirational woman working to improve the lives of children and young people who were failed by mainstream services. Rest in peace Camila.

My beloved aunt, Camila Batmanghelidjh, has died. She believed that vulnerable children in Britain deserved "unrelenting love." She was a source of inspiration, a fountain of wit, and a kaleidoscope of colour. I adored her. I am sharing a statement from our family.

1 in 4 children in one Home Office hotel have gone missing. Half of them still not found. The gangs know where to find them. Govt is shamefully failing to act. They must urgently stop using this hotel & crackdown on the dangerous trafficking gangs putting young people at risk
