Housing Action - 22nd March 2023

St. Mary's campaign for better housing continued with an action outside Lewisham Town Hall last month. We gathered there with people representing 17 local institutions from Lewisham Citizens to call time on poor housing in Lewisham.

Our school council designed some beautiful cards asking for houses to be made into homes as we highlighted that some accommodation is far from perfect.

One of our parents spoke brilliantly about how poor accommodation affects everyday life as well as her physical and mental health. The children made lots of noise to attract attention and we then delivered the cards along with photos of current conditions that families are living in to Councillor Sophie Davies.

​Housing is a huge issue affecting our families - please join us for our next Housing Action Meeting in the near future!
