This is an important new book ‘The Work We Need’ by @hilarycottam.bsky.social speaking at the @wearenewlocal.bsky.social #StrongerThings this afternoon at the Guildhall.
Setting out a vision that reimagines good work for the 21st century.
Great to attend the annual @wearenewlocal conference #StrongerThings at the GuildHall.
Kicking off is @Georgia_Gould talking about the partnership of government with local communities to deliver real change. Looking forward to unpacking what that really means in practice!
A busy morning in the ward at @CribYouth on the De Beauvoir estate with @emilythornberry.bsky.social hosting her first coffee morning for local residents.
Great to see so many resident (and Polly the dog!) l & to provide support & listen to local concerns.
Proud to support @CribYouth family as they spoke to ITV earlier about their fundraiser campaign. The Crib is such a vital community space for our young people, their parents and the team. Losing it would be a devastating loss not just for De Beauvoir but across Hackney.

It was a real privilege to attend the ‘soft’ launch of the Asian & South-East Asian community centre in my ward this afternoon. The only one of its kind in the UK and a partnership project with @hackneycouncil.bsky.social & the @london.gov.uk

Really sad to wake up to the news of John Prescott’s death. A towering Labour figure, longest serving deputy Prime Minister and champion of the social justice.

Great to see the @hackneycouncil.bsky.social ‘Money Hub’ team engaging with residents today at the Hackney Downs Neighbourhood Forum to ensure that people who are needing help with the #costofliving are accessing the right support this winter ❄️

Really good to meet with Aesha, the new community organiser at @StPetersDB this morning. @jasminemartins.bsky.social & I discussed our priorities for the ward and how we can collaborate on a number of programmes to improve our neighbourhood for residents.
