Things I usually tell people too quickly: I love @springsteen; I went to @cambridge_uni; I write books; I met @pontifex; I run; I'd be a cowboy if not a teacher
It was an absolute joy to meet @Pontifex this week in Rome. Papal endorsement for our work at @CitizensUK - huge thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey. The next steps are already being planned - Catholic schools with community organising at their heart.
Really important event on rise of temporary accommodation for children & families today in Westminster. Great to welcome @peterboughcuk for the discussion. Thanks to @Siobhain_Mc @CitizensUK for hosting. We can make progress on helping families in Peterborough @sam_carling_
OUT OF OFFICE is on. Got a lovely mug as a present from a Year 7 and another who wrote in a card that “I make all the difference”. Happy days. 19 years done. On to the 20th….
A good few days indeed….
This time, 2 weeks ago, I was on my way to Rome, with a delegation of @CitizensUK leaders from @tynewearcitizen @telcocitizens @CitizensBH @SLondonCitizens to meet @Pontifex. A truly wonderful moment of celebration, recognising decades of Community Organising across the UK.
Really looking forward to this session with teachers with different Christian Worldviews. Our panel consists of: @fionajmoss @MarinaRobb @AndyLewis_RE Natasha Boyce

Proud of @telcocitizens leaders who came out today in support of @CitizensUK Temporary Accommodation Report launch. There is still a lot of work to be done, but we are on our way. Such a powerful group of leaders!!
🚨 A new report launched today 'A long way from home: Improving the experiences of people in temporary accommodation' by @CitizensUK & @trustforlondon reveals the dire realities of #TemporaryAccommodation (TA) in the UK. Thousands of families are trapped in a broken system. 🧵
Thank you to @CitizensUK & @trustforlondon for organising the launch of today’s report on Temporary Accommodation and for all the brave mums and children who told their story. 160,000 UK children. I in 28 in London. At a cost to Londoners alone of £4,000,000 a day
What a wonderful gift from @HolyLandGifts3 🙏🏽 @CountiesBaldwin much appreciated
A huge good luck to our 38 amazing CAFOD runners taking on the London Marathon today. We’re cheering you on every step of the way! 💚 #LondonMarathon #TeamCAFOD
