I’m jumping out of a plane (yes, really) from 10,000 feet to raise money for @AFCW_Foundation and their amazing work with our young people in #Merton 💛💙

I’m so proud that Merton has once again been rated Outstanding for our Children’s Services. This means a lot to me because I’ve always believed our children & young people should lead the way. Their voices guide us and I’m proud of everyone who helps make that real in #Merton 💜
📣 Merton’s Children’s Services are Outstanding We’re thrilled to announce that our support for children and their families has retained our Outstanding rating, first awarded in 2022. 🔗 Read more in our newsroom: https://t.co/IyFG7sr8AL

Congrats to Cllr Joan Henry for a powerful #BlackHistoryMonth event, lifting our young people up through your work and words. The theme #InspireAGeneration says it all. Best way to fight hate and division is through more of this. Our young people give me faith in the future.

It was inspiring to join our Deputy Mayor at the @JPFoundation Achievement Awards and celebrate so many incredible young people and leaders across #Merton. Their pride, confidence and determination are a real reminder of why I love doing what I do. They seriously inspire me.

It is not easy to talk about what it means to be a man today. That is why I am so proud of our young people, youth workers, Safer Merton and Voicebox for creating this toolkit to support conversations on healthy masculinity and tackle male violence against women and girls 💜

Lovely to meet parents at Singlegate Primary, Haslemere Primary, Bond Primary and Liberty Primary School this week. Choosing the right secondary school can be tough, and I look forward to welcoming families to my free parents' briefing on 15th October. https://t.co/9NH9y13zvg
Choosing the right secondary school can be a big worry for parents. That’s why I’m holding a free briefing to talk through admissions and share tips on preparing children for the move. Join us at the Council Chamber, Merton Civic Centre, on Wednesday 15th October at 7pm.

This afternoon, again with @Siobhain_Mc and @EdithMacauley, we were at Bond Primary informing parents about our 15 Oct briefing on choosing the right secondary school. #Merton has all good and outstanding schools and our parents deserve to know that when making these decisions.

Apologies @Sandra4Mitcham no silence from @MMLabour we have a great ‘Save Mitcham Police Station’ poster for your window ( with double sided sticky tape for ease). Drop me an email and I will drop it round to you!
Please continue to stand up for #Mitcham police station, Paul as there is complete silence from our MP @Siobhain_Mc and ward councillors. I don't know why they aren't campaigning, and I wish they would.

Big thanks to @PoliticsProject for launching the #AtTheTable toolkit at @LDN_Gov. From my @BiteTheBallot days to now, it meant a lot to be in a room full of people still fighting for youth voice. Let’s keep building a democracy young people believe in. #NoVoteNoVoice #LVRW2025

#NoVoteNoVoice. But also no hope, no vote. This #LVRW2025 reminded me it’s not just about registering young people, it’s about giving them faith their voice matters. In #Merton we back this with our Youth and Children’s Parliaments, but there’s more to do. #RegisterToVote

Our rating shows children in #Merton are safe, supported & able to fulfil their potential. That’s thanks to our social workers and many others who give their all every single day. Because of them, our children’s services are not just in good hands, they’re in outstanding hands 💜
