Lewisham to receive £515,023 to tackle homelessness and roughsleeping

This weekend's arson attack on a Mosque in Peacehaven is a hate attack. I join my colleagues in condemning this abhorrent crime.

Islamophobia and hate against any religion have no place in Britain.

Today's scenes coming from Manchester are shocking and horrific. Violence has no place in British Society.

My thoughts are with the victims of this tragic attack, and with the entire Jewish community across the UK.

We need Britain to be our best and we are better than this!

Making the most of this lovely September sunshine whilst meeting constituents on doorsteps in #HitherGreen and #GrovePark. Great conversations about local issues like parking access, and wonderful to chat with residents like Margaret and Catriona! 🌞

Beautiful day in #Bellingham & #RusheyGreen speaking to residents on the doorstep. Parking, street weeds and flytipping are all issues which were raised

This local street FGR in my constituency always has great weather for their street parties!

It has been 11yrs since the first street party and I thank the volunteers and the Local Cllr’s involved.

The children also had a fab time!

I recently met with some residents about antisocial behaviour in their local area of #Bellingham, to discuss the changes that are needed to make a difference for their community.

Residents absolutely deserve to feel secure and live in safety.

We’re told time and again of the same systemic failings that leave children at risk of harm.

We’re addressing these once and for all by breaking down barriers to opportunity with earlier intervention and more investment.

Government speeds up reforms to protect children from harm

Extra £18 million injected into councils in England to roll out children’s social care reforms that prioritise earlier intervention.

Flytipping is a blight, an avoidable mess where one person's inconsiderate actions make an area worse for everyone else.
This week, I had a walkaround #Bellingham with an officer from
@lewisham.gov.uk to point out hotspots, and discuss what can be done to tackle the problem

Our #Planforchange includes a transformation of Children's Social Care, early intervention, supporting kinship carers, recruiting and retaining foster carers, all aimed at improving the lives of our most vulnerable children and keeping them safe.

It’s been an honour to serve as the MP for Lewisham East and a Government Minister in the last year. I've visited children’s services nationwide and spoken to stakeholders.
It is clear that much more work still needs to be done.

Through our Plan for Change, this Government is determined to ensure all young people leaving care receive the support they need. #CareLeavers #Support #Future #OpportunityMission #PlanForChange

It was wonderful to hear from such an inspirational young person at last week's Care Leaver Ministerial Board. Thank you to Maleekah for challenging the Board on how it can improve support for care leavers.

Fantastic to meet constituents from the Lee Green Women's Institute who visited Parliament yesterday. Glad to see so many members were able to attend and see the democratic process in action!

Today marks 80 years since Victory in Europe Day — a time to honour the heroes who fought for our freedom. As the struggle for peace endures, I remain deeply grateful to our veterans and all those currently serving in the armed forces. #VEDay

Had a brilliant morning at Home Park Adventure Playground in my constituency! There is a great mix of indoor & outdoor fun for children.

With @lewisham.gov.uk officers and Cllr Edison Huynh, we discussed the need to better improve the green spaces and facilities.
