We know this is true. Multiple pupils’ physical & mental health is worsened by their homes. Damp, black mould, leaks, disrepair, rodents, ants… We’re actively campaigning for change Southwark & Peckham Citizens & want to see decent homes for all L&Q Southwark Council Partnership Southwark

Excited for London Citizens #mayoralassembly. We hosted a workshop w/ #CorbinShaw Camberwell College of Arts Camberwell Space where local leaders designed banners representing London! Tonight they will be flying high in the roll call & grad designed housing set with shibboleth shechter support 🙌


Amazing Citizens UK Assembly at Westminster Central Hall yesterday evening. Over 2000 attended to hear questions put to one of the London Mayoral candidates, Sadiq Khan. The joy was in seeing so many young people, future leaders of our city, interested in building a city for all.


So proud of our choir & Junior Leadership Team who opened London Citizens Mayoral Assembly with an amazing song & powerful message! Great to hear so many fellow Londoners sharing their stories & dreams for the future. Sorry you missed our performance Sadiq Khan Come & visit us!

Great #LondonLivingWage action with London Citizens last weekend at #NationalTheatre with Camberwell College of Arts students chairing the action and producing creative interventions such as zines Living Wage Foundation



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


Congratulations newly elected MPs! This week Angela Rayner & others pledged to work with Citizens UK on issues that matter to our communities. We're ready to build on existing relationships like these & foster new ones with all elected officials. Everyday people win changeđź’Şđź’Ż

Last night, we insisted that elected officials must do more to push for a higher % of family-sized social homes in the Aylesham development & that the full quota of intermediate homes must be CLT. Cllr Helen Dennis told us she had 'heard our plea' and that she would do her utmost.






We instil confidence in our children to be change makers in our #community and have no better role models than our own parents. Proud of Kafilat for speaking so passionately about her own family’s path to citizenship at the #southlondon South London Citizens Migration Summit.


Great to meet with one of our local MPs Neil Coyle who signed the #CitizenshipNetwork pledge We’ll continue to explore ways to unlock the pathway to citizenship which is challenging for so many of our families, so they can progress from #RootedToRecognised and build secure lives
