While I’m certain things can only get better, there’s still work to do right here, right now. That’s why we invited cross-industry partners to discuss our ambitious plans to tackle poverty, improve community engagement and serve residents who need us.

The council will work closely with the new Govt to lobby for our partners on the things that matter, like fairer funding & support for vulnerable communities. But in the meantime, we have 20 missions that we’re determined to deliver on & we need to be bold & innovative to do so.

Well done Anthony. For those asking, certain anti-bodies can only be found within a racial group and this illness affects mainly African/Caribbean communities. More from these communities (who low in numbers for blood donations) need to contribute
