Launched Southwark’s Disability Hub today – a vital step for inclusion. It’s about voice, power and independence, giving disabled residents space to shape decisions and share access info. Huge thanks to residents and officers who got us here.

Today we officially launched the Old Kent Road bridge artwork - even on a rainy cloudy day, it was stunning. Thank you to the young children, community activists, officers and everyone who made this a reality. #notanyoldroad

1 in 4 people a year in the UK experience a mental health problem. Suicide is the biggest killer of people under 35 and the biggest killer of men under the age of 50.
We need a preventative community approach to spot & signpost people for support.
