I am so very sad to hear about Gillian. We collaborated closely volunteering for Westminster Mutual Aid during the early stages of the pandemic. She was incredibly generous and devoted to helping others. She made a massive difference to so many, particularly those needing advice on financial aid

Great news Nilton.
Honoured to be appointed as a governor at St. Gabriel’s Primary School, right in the heart of Churchill Gardens. Strong schools are the foundation of strong communities, and I’m looking forward to contribute to the continued success of this incredible school.
