"I'm Fatiha Benmerzouk CreatingGround & South London Citizens. My family & I have moved across London 4 times in 4 years. My daughter asks where next? 168,000 children in temporary housing ask the same. We need to prioritise better temporary accommodation for families with children."

"I faced mould & chronic disrepair in my flat. I contacted the council at least five times before even getting an appointment. It took over two years to get my home fixed. - Saynab South London Citizens A national home repair & upgrade strategy is crucial to end unsafe conditions.

We are proud members of South London Citizens. Last night’s Citizens UK general election assembly reminded us while our direct work is #CommunitySponsorship, in seeking justice for one refugee family, we seek justice for all refugees and our fellow citizens.

A great evening with Citizens UK at their general election assembly.

This week, our local leaders won commitments from the major parties on critical issues including temporary accommodation, social housing, and migration. Our Lewisham alliance is proud to be part of a nationwide movement that runs deeper than a single election.

Congratulations to Saynab & Surrey Square School who represented us on stage at the #GeneralElection2024 Assembly. By raising our voice in song & sharing stories, we've been part of winning commitments from politicians who may soon be running our country #CitizensManifesto

On Monday, Fatiha from our Greenwich team spoke powerfully about her experience in temporary accommodation to Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner. We look forward to working with her and Matthew Pennycook MP if elected to improve the lives of families in TA, in Greenwich and nationwide.
