Grateful for partner agencies CitizensAdvice & London Legal Support Trust who deliver Mayor of London Cost of Living Crisis Prevention project despite challenging context. To date the project has generated over £13.5m in extra income & supported over 35k Londoners. Thank you for all you do.
Spotlighting Mayor of London’s @LDNVRU’s MyEnds programme shows the positive impact investment into grassroots orgs, youth workers and practitioners can have. While Sadiq Khan continues to invest in youth services, his call on Govt for dedicated resource should not go unanswered.
Great to visit SMART Projects Café & learn about their Leaven Veg Box project, which aims to improve access to fresh, healthy food & provide training & employment opportunities.
Special thanks to KCSC - Kensington & Chelsea Social Council for supporting this through the Mayor of London Food Roots programme
What Frank Hester said is clearly racist.
Don't pretend you care about MPs safety if you can't call out racism.
You want to give millions to someone who hates 'all Black women'.
Rishi Sunak hand back his donations and rescind his Government contracts immediately!
It's an honour and a privilege to work alongside such inspiring women in pursuit of a fairer and more inclusive justice system. Thank you Debbie Weekes-Bernard and Sophie Linden for all that you do. #InternationalWomansDay #IWD #IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion
