Two classrooms of children could be locked up in prison-like conditions every day under the Government’s proposed Bill.
We believe children belong in classrooms📚, not detention centres 🚫

Wonderful to be on @CitizensUK national training with 40 leaders from across the UK learning how to make change on issues they care about. At the heart of this work is “one organised spirit going after another persons spirit for connection… & an exchange of talent & connection”

As we enter the new year, let us remember the power of community organising, the hope it can bring and the importance of coming together to create positive change. 'Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.' - Helen Keller #NewYear #CommunityOrganizing

What an extraordinary and inspiring evening! So privileged to be part of it! This movement is unstoppable. A new refreshing approach to mental health - working with communities, helping to confront the causes of ill health and preventing deterioration of health.
Fantastic to be at #SouthLondonListens with @mertoncitizens on #MentalHealthDay to highlight the mental health of people impacted by the pandemic, the economy, self-isolation or tragedy.
Great to hear from Cllr leads @Bobby_Dean and @piers_allen & Chair of task force @normanlamb
