Great to be @lb_southwark Extreme Weather listening session to review VCS experiences of Summer 2026. It's a really tough call for the VCS to postpone vital services and activities due to extreme weather, and beneficiary numbers will have consequently dipped - funders to note.

Great to meet Albrighton Community Centre's food bank operators today in East Dulwich #SE22. There are a disproportionate number of older people (55 plus) visiting the service, something we will be taking up with @lb_southwark at the earliest opportunity.

Great to be at the Copleston Centre #Peckham #SE15 for the Southwark Food Action Alliance earlier this week.
One of the themes of the meeting was the disproportionate numbers of #Southwark #olderpeople aged 55 plus that attend community food banks and pantries.

A memorable afternoon in the company of Illuminated Arts who transformed The Queen's House Greenwich into a catwalk with fashion designs including those made by Southwark older people. Just brilliant 👏 👏
