Thanks to The Guardian for this powerful coverage of our housing campaign and shedding light on our communities' stories.
Brenda Dacres William Cooper we look forward to working with you to tackle these critical issues.
We're proud to share that 25 Lewisham GPs have now signed onto our open letter--addressed directly to Mayor Brenda Dacres--including the Health Equity Fellows in every Primary Care Network in the Borough.
Lewisham's housing crisis is a health crisis.

“Everyone in Lewisham should have a right to a clean home and to feel comfortable wherever they live.”
Earlier this month, hundreds of pupils, headteachers and community leaders from Lewisham Citizens came together to campaign for better housing ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏼

📰Coverage of our action! Powerful words from Aaminah Verity and Dean Gordon NPQH 🇯🇲 about the housing crisis:
“I even have teachers who take time off because they’ve got no heating. They’ve got no water. There’s damp, there’s mould. It impacts everybody.”
Great to speak at APPG on Migration and APPG on Poverty hearing at Parliament today. Our team gave powerful testimony on how the immigration system pushes people into poverty and homelessness.
The system is clearly broken and the voices of those affected must be centred in fixing it.
Tomorrow, over 200 SE Londoners will gather with NHS leaders and local politicians to celebrate the past two years of South London Listens achievements, highlight new priorities, and make collective commitments to pursuing health justice 🩺⚖️
