This #AntiBullyingWeek, I pledge to use my #PowerForGood to champion kindness, respect and every young person's right to belong.

Today I took part in the #RemembranceDay service in #LewishamNorth, joining the nation to commemorate the fallen. It is my solemn privilege to honour their sacrifice.

Had a chat with Cllrs. Will and Rudi about the re-opening of the Riverside Youth Club. Packed with fantastic facilities, the centre is open 6 days a week with activities for all ages.

Thanks to Lewisham Council, Youth First and Millwall Community Trust for making this happen. #youthworkweek

Kicked off recess @artsnetworkldn, a local charity providing creative workshops and support to mental health services. CEO Kate Price called for sustained funding for this essential work.
