Thoughts and prayers to the people who have lost their lives, those who have been injured and their families and friends, after the terror attack at Forbury Gardens in Reading. #ForburyGardens #Reading All On The Board

My heart goes out to those affected in the tragic stabbing. Enough is enough - we should not stand for this kind of cruel activity. I will continue to advocate for my young peers by working with Youth Council RDG and the police in order to tackle Knife Crime. Stay safe everyone #rdguk
