Thanks to all the fantastic community groups who came to the launch of our Connect & Collaborate programme last month. We heard from people supporting homeless people in Canning Town, building community for older gay people across the borough, helping young people in mental distress, and much more.

Fix the Five Basics for Temporary Accommodation
1 in 50 Londoners are currently stuck in ‘temporary’ accommodation, and too often, they lack these five basic amenities: somewhere to cook, laundry access, WiFi, secure storage and clear information.

1 in 50 Londoners are currently living in temporary accommodation. Many without a kitchen, washing machine, or Wi-Fi, for months and often years.
With every borough going to election in May, there's a real opportunity to push for change.
