CEO @The_BikeProject -we refurbish bikes for refugees 🧡. Vice-Chair @DSC_Charity. Person on bike. Passionate about social +environmental justice. Views my own.
Great to visit The Bike Project for @ComicRelief and @StandardNews’ A Place to Call Home campaign.
Hearing how second-hand bikes can transform the lives of refugees was truly inspiring. Honoured to meet the team and some of those they’ve helped thanks to this work.
I’ve seen first-hand the life-changing work The Bike Project is doing in London.
Their refurbished bikes open up our city to the refugees who receive them.
Pleased to support the @ComicRelief and @StandardNews A Place to Call Home campaign.
Today @The_BikeProject joined hundreds of organisations and individuals in signing this letter to the new PM @10DowningStreet calling for an overhaul of our asylum system and a new one which protects people seeking safety here and treats them with dignity and compassion. 🧡
Today we join 300 organisations and 500+ individuals in calling on @10DowningStreet to fundamentally overhaul our broken asylum system.
We need a new approach: one that protects people seeking safety, rather than punishing them for political gain:

@sfajanathomas@mayorofhackney Finsbury Park has suffered terribly as a result. We have open drug dealing happening everywhere, gangs acting with impunity open intimidation of residents, violent crime and abuse. A number of children have been assaulted in the past year. VAWG here is on the up.
@metpoliceuk Residents informed last week that there is no strategy for Clear, Hold Build for Finsbury Park. It's just an 'approach teams are being encouraged to use'. Without coordinated activity across the three boroughs it is completely useless and feels suspiciously like Met PR stunt...
If I were to add some more little cycling drawings to my Twenty Little Cycling Drawings (thereby making a nonsense of the title, I realise), what should I add?
@MPSFinsburyPark Please can you tell us what actions have been taken for Clear Hold Build in the past few months? From resident's perspectives things have got quite a bit worse in Finsbury Park over the past few months so curious to know if action is being taken that we can't see. Thanks.
📢 Our LCC cargo bike has been stolen over night from Haggerston. 😡
Please keep an eye out for it as it is very distinctive - bright red with 'London Cycling Campaign' written all over it.
Spread the word and make it too hot to handle.
Theft has been reported to the Police.
