Massive thanks to Islington Better Lives for dropping by earlier and giving us 15 nasal Naloxone packs for our #SolidarityHub and outreaches.

These are literal lifesavers ❤️

Wonderful to join this year's #StreetsFest in support of people facing homelessness.

Thank you to Arts & Homelessness International, Single Homeless Project, Streets Kitchen and many others for everything you do.

If the government had even half your courage & resolve, they could end homelessness for good.

Today marks a year since a Met Police officer shot and killed Chris Kaba, an unarmed 24-year-old Black man, in Streatham.

One year on, his bereaved family is still fighting for truth and accountability. Love and solidarity to Chris' loved ones on this painful anniversary 🖤

Along with Islington Council, Haringey Council & #JammingForChange we are so happy to announce this years #StreetsFest 🥳

For many years I collected evidence to show the destitution and homelessness caused by refugees only having 28 days to find a home and income, and now they’ve reduced it to 7 days. An utterly appalling move that will cause immense harm to people. theguardian.com/world/2023/aug…

It was fantastic to meet up with Arsenal Community at the Arsenal stadium with Sarah Turley earlier.. 😊
So very pleased that they will be at our #StreetsFest on 5 September in #FinsburyPark & some exciting future plans to benefit those experiencing homelessness in #Islington ❤️

Books we just keep coming back to, from your friendly neighbourhood Museum of Homelessness.
These are, in our opinion, foundational texts which help us understand the history of homelessness from mid century onwards to today.

Apsana Begum MP please find her and give her an award. I want to at least know her name. Her contributions to society is outstanding and it came from a pure, selfless, kind heart! 😭
In a time where there is so much negativity, we desperately need more heroes as examples. She is

12 years of Tory government.....

A disgraced police service.

An NHS in crisis.

More food banks than McDonald's.

Working families unable to heat their homes.

40,000 excess deaths last year.

It is the duty of government to protect its citizens.

Do you feel protected?
