Van, thank you for expressing the sorrow and relief that we all feel. My hope is that those who hoped for a different outcome will take a moment to empathize with the pain so many of us have felt over the past four years.

'...I'm known as LAC, was CIN and then CP. There are many different ways that people try defining me.' Social worker @author_aimee at our Partners at @sgloscouncil has created 'I LAC nothing' - a poem inspired by children in care and care leavers:

Well done #TeamLambeth! Demonstrating a real continued commitment to meeting the needs of vulnerable children in our community 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[Helen Hayes 💙🌹 @helenhayes_]

I’m proud that both our local councils, Southwark & Lambeth are stepping up to provide free school meals over the holidays. But I’m clear government should be doing this - our councils are already chronically underfunded & tackling #holidayhunger shouldn’t be a postcode lottery

Currently Listening to 90’s R&B for music hour as a part of our Black History Month celebration (UK). Brilliant and different way of coming together as community in difficult times #TeamLambeth #ClubLambeth? 😝 #goodvibesonly 🕺🏽

I may watch trashy reality TV to switch off, but I also #read This month’s book challenge ☺️ #Blackhistorymonth

Despite a couple of really challenging weeks with family work, managed to pull off a surprise celebration of engagement 😝 #motherofthebride 😂🤣 Laughter builds resilience 😉✊🏾

[Lakeisha Hicks @L_HicksMSW]

Celebrating #JUNETEENTH2020 in quiet reflection. Grew up singing the words of our #BlackNationalAnthem commemorating the day my ancestors were told of their freedom...these words have always brought me comfort and resolve, but the march goes on #LiftEveryVoice

[June's Diary @junesdiary]

Just wanted to take it back a bit 😊

Crazy thing is, they think all this is about George Floyd when we’re still crying tears for Emmett Till. 💔
