It’s crucial that refugees are given the chance to learn English, but funding cuts to lessons have resulted in a huge drop in participation. New funding is needed to #LetRefugeesLearn #RefugeeWeek2019

It’s unacceptable that more people are turning to food banks. Labour Councils like Lewisham are doing all they can to support food banks, but we need a fundamental change in Government policy so there’s no longer a need for them @TrussellTrust @GwynneMP

Fantastic too see Barbara Gray from the @LBME_Network appointed as Mayoress of Lewisham for the next year - can think of no one better to draw attention to the huge health inequalities BAME communities still face in Britain.
Can’t wait to sit down with her and get to work.

Our debate agrees: migrants, people of colour, and working class people should be at the heart of regeneration. Too often however, as Southwark's Fred Manson nakedly put it, regeneration is aimed at attracting "a better class of people".
