One of the reasons why we want to work with Bella Sankey Liz Loughran Cllr Jacob Allen is to ensure developments have clear targets in terms of affordability for private renters. #LivingRent Key link between rental costs & child poverty.

Positive meeting with Chris Ward MP focusing on our mental health work locally, thinking about national implications (Bella Sankey Emma Daniel). And good to discuss how we can collaborate to address the housing crisis our city faces (Liz Loughran Cllr Jacob Allen).

We welcome Peter Kyle’s focus on social media. We look forward to sharing with him the results of a city-wide listening exercise engaging 1,000s of young people, specifically looking at the impact of social media companies on their mental health. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Our alliance’s leadership recently discussed whether we should remain on this platform. It was agreed that we shouldn’t. We’ll soon be moving to Bluesky.

The story: in 2023, we invited decision-makers to Whitehawk to propose a ÂŁ1 short-hop bus fare so people could access the foodbank. Many were turning down tins at the foodbank as they couldn't carry them home and the bus was too expensive. Thanks to Cllr Trevor Muten for engaging.

EXCLUSIVE I spoke with Peter Kyle about Brighton and Hove's lack of housing, and how it is driving young professionals to 'cheaper' London. 🔹 In February 2025 private rents rose to an average of £1,799 in Brighton and Hove. 🔹This is 12-20% more expensive than some London

We mourn the death of Pope Francis. Inspired by our brothers and sisters West/Southwest IAF who met with him three times, we too were looking forward to meeting with him in June, as he’d expressed an interest in finding out more about our work. May he rest in peace & rise in eternal glory.

We felt compelled to hand-deliver a letter to Bridget Phillipson this morning as we are seeking clarity on The Labour Party’s pledge to reduce pressures on CAMHS. We also went to share some of the good work happening in our city thanks to our collaboration with Bella Sankey.
