Great to see so many faces at our Be Well hubs launch, especially the four new institutions that pledged to become hubs then and there! #SouthLondonListens

Congratulations @JasonForCroydon on your election as mayor. We were delighted to meet you and your team on your first day. We look forward to working with you to implement your commitments on the London Living Wage, housing, mental health, youth safety, and littering.

Congratulations to @CllrJPerry our first elected mayor of Croydon. It was good to meet you at our @CroydonCitizens assembly at St Luke's. You're in our prayers, and look forward to working with you to make Croydon what it can be, for all its citizens!

@CroydonNbrhoods If you know any groups who'd like to be part of the alliance, but are concerned about the membership costs, let's meet up and see what we can do? DM me or @CroydonCitizens!

For all who are tired of the tribalism, distrust and accusations of bad faith in politics, and would like to see the gap narrow between the world as it is, and the world as it should be, get involved! We would love to build our alliance of institutions across Croydon.

Yesterday we hosted the Croydon Citizens Mayoral Assembly at St Luke's. This approach to politics has the power to make real change - hearing testimony, looking for common self-interest, trying to be realistic about power, assuming good faith, whilst still applying tension.

Good to host the Croydon Citizens Mayoral Assembly this evening. We found out more about what motivates the candidates, & asked them to commit to working with us on affordable housing, youth safety, the living wage and the streetscape. We heard some powerful testimonies!

I was very proud of Alex, as his vicar!

Amazing results at the @CroydonCitizens Mayoral Assembly!! Huge thanks to @CllrJPerry and @ValShawcross for joining us, and for both committing to hosting a GP-Community Summit for mental health and isolation.

Powerful stories about youth safety in Croydon

Delighted to join 100+ citizens in the #MertonCitzAssembly. Hoping local candidates see and feel the urgency of our agenda. Housing. Mental Health. Sanctuary. Here we go!
