Today on @bbclondon.bsky.social, listeners heard about the beginning of a significant legal challenge regarding the Government’s leasehold reform bill.

Our aim is not to halt reform, but to seek a narrow exemption that recognises the unique role of historical charitable estates. ⬇️ #charitytuesday

JLC is not opposing leasehold reform. We fully support the principle and have worked constructively with governments over the years to help make the system fairer for leaseholders. What we are asking for is a narrow exemption. We hope this helps explain our stance ➡️https://shorturl.at/Dtsce

To find out more about our stance on leasehold reform, please read our latest blog from our CEO, Lynne Guyton in the link below. Thank you for taking the time to share your views and we hope this helps explain ours. ➡️https://jlc.london/media/blogs/jlc/

“For students, it is not only about avoiding suspension and exclusion. It is also about being more integrated into the school community… fundamentally, being healthier, safer and happier.” - @cei-global.bsky.social

Through our work, we’ve seen first-hand how creating a sense of belonging can help students not only stay in school, but thrive there. Read the full blog here - www.jlc.london/media/blogs/...
