Special shout out to the brilliant Chipping Barnet Foodbank, who've recently taken a leading role in the campaign! & to @FinchleyReform who were key in initially winning committments for accreditation in 2022.

This morning, Barnet Citizens celebrated @BarnetCouncil accrediting as a #LivingWageEmployer ! & called on @RoyalFreeNHS to follow suit!

Big up to our brilliant members who showed out in force for this win!

Dear Ms @bphillipsonMP, we visited you today to hand in our letter asking you to deliver your promise to make counselling compulsory in every school and college across England.

Don't let us fall through the cracks! #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

We, community leaders in Barnet, have been and are proud of our diversity and continue to stand together with our statement below.

As a faith leader in #Barnet, I agree with this statement. Praying for my borough & its communities - stronger together & standing against hate. From the Te Deum:
“Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us. O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in thee.”

We agree @sarahsackman: Barnet's diversity should be celebrated! Communities across Barnet are excited for change. From #fairpathwaystoCitizenship, to bus travel for asylum seekers, to school based counsellors, we want to make change with you!

I was honoured to make my maiden speech at the King’s speech debate today. The people of Finchley and Golders Green, both past and present, deserve their time in the spotlight - I was honoured to be able to do that in my speech.

Very proud of a collaboration between our members @MiddlesexUni and @Hendon_School! Psychology students used their KNOWLEDGE and EXPERTISE to get students at Hendon thinking during Children's Mental Health Week!
