As a #WhiteRibbon Ambassador myself, I am really proud of these girls who have stepped up at Phipps Bridge Youth Centre to become our first Junior White Ribbon Changemakers in #Merton.

Huge thanks to #EmpowerHer team and our #VAWG team

#WeSpeakUp #16DaysOfActivism

I am proud to help share our new Healthy Masculinity toolkit so that more of our young people, parents and carers can have honest conversations about respect, relationships and what it means to be a man today. This is part of our work to end violence against women and girls 💜

As Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, I’m proud #Merton is still the only London borough running these clubs during half term breaks too. Only handful of places are doing that nationally. Children deserve joy and opportunity all year round, and @mertonlabour.bsky.social backs this with action.

We all know the global icons, but our story is here too, in the everyday role models in our community.

Our foster carers from all backgrounds who open their homes and love our children are part of that story. You are the role models our young people need to see.
