Today we released a song to honour homecare workers in the COVID-19 pandemic, to mark the end of the Care Sector Module of the @covidinquiryuk
I gave a closing statement on behalf of @homecareassn which you can find here:

@rokhsanafiaz This is such sad news, my sympathies to his family, friends and all @NewhamLondon. Cllr Wilson dedicated so much to the community. At @YourPlaceUK recently he was a ray of sunshine handing out certificates to our residents, it meant so much to them.
Are you, or is someone you know, looking for a rewarding career in homelessness? Last year we helped 352 people move away from homelessness in East London, and we're #hiring a Support Worker to help continue changing people's lives. Interested? Apply now: https://t.co/AVMQvUjJDr
Great to be invited by @HomelessLink to attend this discussion with @PaulaBarkerMP, @dsnorthnorth, @emily4MK & sector leaders. There is much for @UKLabour to do to get homelessness & rough sleeping under control and it was positive to hear that the will is there.
We convened a roundtable today with Co-Chair of the homelessness APPG @PaulaBarkerMP & Vice-Chairs @dsnorthnorth & @emily4MK
Conversation touched on the funding cliff edge, the importance of the Government's cross departmental strategy and the vital role of the 3rd sector.
Amazing bravery rightly rewarded. I am extremely proud of my big brother PS Darren Laurie for his incredible care of the victims of the Westminster terrorist attack and leadership during such an extreme event.
Today’s story from 2020 is read by the Lord Mayor of London, Michael Mainelli.
For their lifesaving acts at two terrorist incidents, PS Laurie & PC Malda were recognised with an exceptionally rare award.

I'm really proud of the work my team are doing to support women experiencing homelessness in @NewhamLondon, and it's great to see that they are getting national recognition.
We are so proud to announce that our Women's Development work has been shortlisted in the 'Homelessness Project of the Year' category at this year's @UKHousingAwards! We look forward to celebrating the team's amazing work at the ceremony in November 🧡
After fleeing Sudan and sleeping rough in Stratford, Bitania has moved on into her own flat, working in a job she loves and is excited to start university in the autumn. This #RefugeeWeek we are pleased to share Bitania's story: https://t.co/5BokYVdnAm
With this election comes a real opportunity to make an impact on the frightening rise of homelessness across the country. Let's hope that whoever forms the next government will be brave enough to take decisive action on this.
Everyone needs a safe place to live, but homelessness is rising sharply. The next Government must act to change this.
Our letter, signed by over 50 organisations, urging party leaders to take decisive action should they lead the next Government.

In case you missed it: this Stress Awareness Month, we're really grateful to Kabir* for sharing his story of hope and determination after the deep stress and anxiety of losing his mother and his home.
@EllieYMCA I couldn’t agree more Ellie. And now news that a child is amongst the five people that have died today crossing the channel. Absolutely tragic.
Great to be speaking today at the @HDN_UK Board Diversity conference about the journey @YourPlaceUK have taken to build a more diverse board. Some interesting questions and discussions and great personal experience shared by our trustee Kevin Maxwell.
Our resident Kelvin* generously shared his story with @HomelessLink and @guardian about his Section 21 eviction from a rogue landlord.
He is now receiving support and accommodation with us after being made homeless very abruptly last year.
