Lovely to see the Red Ribbon Living Well group at the Waldron Centre today as they were starting their new group.
Great to see this space being used as it should be, a real community space, bringing people together, supporting wellbeing & connection.

And it gets worse.
Targeting a display for kidnapped children is beyond unacceptable. It crosses a line. This isn’t protest. It’s a loss of basic humanity.

@greenparty @zachpollack54.bsky.social - you’ve chosen this man to represent the Greens in Lewisham.
He represents everything Lewisham isn’t.
Do you condemn Bernard Mani's views, yes or no?

Big news for #London and #Lewisham’s young people.
£30m Youth Lates investment from @london.gov.uk bringing evening youth provision to every borough.
In Lewisham this builds on our fantastic youth services, creating more opportunities for young people to grow and thrive.

Laura Seabright, Labour candidate for Telegraph Hill ward, shares her experience as a parent of a child diagnosed with cancer and how every journey to treatment was heavy - emotionally and financially.
Today the Labour Government is lifting over 8,000 children in Lewisham out of poverty by removing the two-child benefit cap.
This is the difference a Labour Government working with a Labour Council and a Labour Mayor can make.
Another step towards building a fairer, more equitable society.
Happy Easter Sunday. A time for renewal, reflection and coming together with family, friends and community. Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful day, with brighter days ahead.
Such a fantastic evening joining Amanda De Ryk, our Lewisham Labour Mayoral candidate, at the Eid party, full of warmth, joy and community spirit. ✨
And a highlight… Amanda getting a beautiful henna tattoo. A perfect touch to a brilliant celebration. 🌙
Happy Palm Sunday
Great to welcome @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social to Lewisham today with Lewisham Labour out in Deptford and Evelyn.
We’re building a Lewisham that works for everyone, and it was great to hear such strong backing for our manifesto from the community.

Brilliant to hear Lewisham Council have been awarded £50,000 by The Veolia Environmental Trust to transform Friendly Gardens park in Deptford.
From wildflower meadows to accessible paths and a wildlife pond, this will be a huge improvement for local access to nature.

Now we turn ambition into action.
