Welcome to the Citizens UK family, #LiverpoolCitizens! Looking forward to working with you for generations to come!

Excited to be working with Cllr Jacob Allen Liz Loughran to get 1000s of people across our alliance to get involved with the City Plan consultation.


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/…

Wishing those many public servants across our city, as well as their teams, a wonderful year ahead. May it be one guided by action and trustful leadership. We look forward to working with you to make our city the best one it can be. Bella Sankey Peter Kyle Sian Berry Chris Ward MP

Looking forward to sharing our work with Liz Loughran Bella Sankey and their team as we seek to support them to address the housing challenges too many people face across our city.


Great to be on BBC South East with Charlotte Wright this morning as we look forward to meeting, and working with, Bella Sankey Liz Loughran and their team to address the challenges our city faces in terms of housing.



We look forward to discussing further and working with you, Cllr Jacob Allen, Liz Loughran, and Bella Sankey. Our report and recommendations are here: drive.google.com/file/d/1AldV4M…


Thank you, Bella Sankey Emma Daniel and others. Let’s now work together to get our friends Sussex Partnership involved so College students can benefit too. We look forward to working with you again to make things happen! Chris Ward MP

Brighton & Hove Citizens Thank you! It's been a pleasure to see you in action. Please keep up the great work.

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.
