Cllr @drjohnwoolf message is powerful:
“We listened to survivors - the real experts.”
With DA Champions, housing teams & VAWG partners, Islington is proving that safe housing is a human right and a lifeline for survivors.

Brilliant news.
There are now nine @IslingtonBC 100% council home schemes across Islington.
This is what a Labour Council working a Labour Mayor can do!
Well done @drjohnwoolf @tomcopley and the whole team.

We urgently need your support!
We have stood on the frontline of London's homelessness crisis, feeding thousands and providing essential support every week for almost 13 years...
The need is greater and our struggle is more desperate than ever before

Another big thank you to @drjohnwoolf for a hugely insightful talk on the progressive and ambitious work @IslingtonBC are doing in Housing. Strategy, new building, purchasing and management - a vital part of borough life explained so well!

We gathered at @IslingtonBC Town Hall yesterday to remember all those we've lost locally in the last year while experiencing homelessness.
We shared memories, hugs, and comfort 💔
How many more will we lose?
This can't go on.
We're losing too many friends needlessly...

Thanks for your support, @debs_wb. We are proud of our Borough of Sanctuary work here in @IslingtonBC which includes bringing members of new and existing communities together to foster community cohesion.

I met with @sheilachapman01 & @Angelo__Weekes at @IslingtonBC re: this appalling attack & protests. Their work to support asylum seekers & their efforts to help residents from all walks of life to feel welcomed and connected exemplifies what it means to be a borough of sanctuary
