🧵Eternal rest grant upon him. On this day of sadness let’s honour the late Pope Francis legacy of ‘seeing the poor’ his call to restore humanity, as our Catholic community in Newham London 💙 and across the globe mourn the passing of the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church.




We are remembering with gratitude this week the surprising part played by Pope Francis Pope Leo XIV in the renewal of this Guild Church for Workers in the City of London stkatharinecree.org/post/papa-fran…

This is people power in action. 🔥 One year since the launch of the London Citizens manifesto, community leaders gathered to celebrate big wins & hold decision-makers accountable on #MigrantJustice & the real #LivingWage. 🧵


Tonight we celebrated leaders from our founding chapter Citizens UK for their leadership & campaign successes, Bernadette Harris for her leadership over the past 3 decade and master chan and the children of St. Antony's for their commitment to the Living Wage campaign.


On #InternationalWorkersDay, we celebrated our incredible community leaders, including Bernadette, master chan St. Antony's, who’ve championed dignity at work. 👏 From the real #LivingWage to secure #LivingHours, the movement is growing to win safer conditions for all. 💪

Huge thanks to Caroline Verdant for an inspiring session on Social Action & Campaigning as part of the Shpresa Leadership Programme! Your journey from the arts to community organising with Citizens UK is truly powerful. We’re so lucky to learn from your passion and wisdom!


Dear Bridget Phillipson, a healthy community supports everyone. But too many children are falling through the cracks and missing school or college without proper access to mental health support. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Dear Ms Bridget Phillipson, we visited you today to hand in our letter asking you to deliver your promise to make counselling compulsory in every school and college across England. Don't let us fall through the cracks! #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek



Proud of TELCO CITIZENS leaders who came out today in support of Citizens UK Temporary Accommodation Report launch. There is still a lot of work to be done, but we are on our way. Such a powerful group of leaders!!




Thank you to everyone who attended the launch of Citizens UK & Trust for London’s new report on the crisis in temporary accommodation. It was inspiring to hear the powerful lived experience testimonies and discussion on how the report’s recommendations can be turned into reality.
