@zarahsultana @jeremycorbyn congratulations on you launch- have your say on this crisis matter for the youth of @Southend_ABC @southend_city #UKPolitics #ukparliament

[LifstanBGC @lifstanBGC]

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives @JamesCleverly Having a community space as a disadvantaged youth should also not feel out of reach either @KemiBadenoch @JamesCleverly but bureaucratic red tape is currently turning this scenario into a reality for Southends Youth- if you could intercede urgently please #savelifstanbgc #dcms

@UKLabour This is what progress looks like 👏 Young people deserve a voice — at the ballot box and in their communities.
Votes at 16 is a huge step. But how can we empower young people if we let their youth clubs shut down?
@UKLabour — back the future. Back Lifstan. #LifstanLegacy

“Culture hasn’t just been erased from the curriculum – it’s been erased from our communities.”
@lisanandy, your words in 2024-
We have full faith you meant what you said and look forward to you interceding on this crucial matter for Southend Youth #YouthInvestment #LevellingUp

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

Levelling up? The prime minister has handed us a fiver, but nicked a tenner back.

“One concerned member put it best: ‘This wasn’t a failed project. It was failed by the process.’
Lifstan Boys & Girls Club and Southend ABC restructured, recovered, and were ready. Then the rug was pulled on funding 🚮

@CllrDent @SouthendinSight @MSEHospCharity A brilliant example of how community spirit thrives when local clubs come together. Leigh and Westcliff Cricket Clubs show exactly what grassroots institutions can achieve when they’re rooted in service, not profit.

@10DowningStreet We’ve been doing just that—quietly and tirelessly—for nigh on a century, red tape revocation of £1.5 million in YIF funding now threatens to derail everything. Please follow our story and see if there’s anything you can do to steer the project back on course #labour #no10

[LifstanBGC @lifstanBGC]

@CllrDent Southend’s had enough of dirty water and broken promises.
This Labour government is cleaning up the Estuary—and backing action over excuses.
Our communities deserve clean seas, safe streets, and clubs that stay open. Let’s keep pushing. 🌊

@Open_Road @BayoAlaba Brilliant to see this kind of leadership and understanding in action.

Community outreach programmes can be truly transformational — for individuals, families, and whole neighbourhoods.Sustainable support at the local level changes lives.

@CllrDent @BayoAlaba @HistoricEngland @thevicsoc @SouthendCityC Incredible to step inside the Kursaal — a powerful reminder of Southend’s rich heritage and what’s possible when local voices are heard.

Big thanks to @BayoAlaba for championing access, preservation, and pride in our community. 👏

@SuellaBraverman Public trust matters — and so does fairness.We all want safe communities and proper support where it’s needed most.
But when funds can move this fast to address some issues, it’s fair to ask: why not for youth clubs, prevention, and opportunity too?

@AngelaRayner Absolutely! 🌟 Every Lioness starts somewhere — and that somewhere is a grassroots club, often run by volunteers, driven by passion. Let’s keep building the pipeline.
Support at the top means investment at the base.

@fionatwycross @lisanandy @DCMS @Steph_Peacock @_judithblake 👏 A proud day for sport and community voice.
Certain this new era of accountability will extend to grassroots clubs too —
Let’s make sure places like @LifstanBGC aren’t left behind.
