brat summer is over. now it's time for pannage autumn, the ancient medieval custom of releasing your pigs in the woods so they can eat the chestnuts and acorns that fall to the forest floor.
Some lovely local media coverage for our superstar GCSE students in Lewisham. We've been out and about at schools today capturing content - it's been great speaking to students and hearing about their plans for the future. Brings back lots of memories too!

Incredible, important video. Probably the best piece of mental health comms Iโve seen. You think you know where itโs going, until you donโt.
Bravo @NorwichCityFC#WorldMentalHealthDay
Itโs fair to say that itโs not often that @BBCCountryfile comes to Lewisham. ๐บ๐พ
It was great to work with their team, as well as my fab public health colleagues at @LewishamCouncil, to publicise the great work happening in this corner of south London to combat food poverty.
ICYMI: We invited @BBCCountryfile down to Beckenham Place Park to learn about community food growing and other ways we're tackling food insecurity. ๐ฅ
Watch our Director of Public Health @DPH_Lewisham talk about it here, starting around 19 minutes in ๐
