So moving to be here with Lewisham Citizens this evening, to hear the stories and feel the collective power!

"Empowerment and economic development going hand in hand... " wonderful to hear something we know to be true (dignity and control over one's life being key to health) included in an approach to system change via Sir Michael Marmot RSA Events #RSAhealth Guy's and St Thomas' London CLT

"It's changed the way me and my partner have been able to think about our futures, our lives. We've never had such stability to rely on, to depend on, to have as a basis for our plans and dreams... - Kes Gill-Martin, a new resident at #CitizensHouse ➡️londonclt.org/kes pic.x.com/IOoo2yTneY

And of course Dave Smith !!

It's been a pleasure getting to know our prospective residents who are all deeply committed to where they live in a variety of ways. I can't wait to see and hear about the relationships they make and how they choose to make this place home.

I missed this one - great to be at UCL the other week discussing site constraints and opportunities in light of health impact assessments with students!
