City Safe Havens through London Citizens

The 'City Safe Haven' scheme through London Citizens is now up and running. I went out with the Thornton Heath team to recruit shops to sign up to the scheme. Basically, shops that display the sticker offer their premises as a sanctuary to teenagers, or even adults, who might be feeling vulnerable, e.g., being followed.

There are 200 such 'safe havens' across London, with City Hall being the 200th one. Full marks to London Citizens for introducing such schemes which make London safer.

London Citizens

I met with Joanna Purkis from London Citizens last week. She is the Organiser for the South London division of the group. London Citizens is an alliance of faith groups, schools, student organisations, union branches and residents groups, who share a commitment to action for the common good. The campaigns include ‘Strangers into Citizens’, ‘Citizens for Sanctuary’, and the ‘London Living Wage’; their efforts have led to positive change. For example they campaigned for the improvements at Lunar House with regard to the queuing system and have pressured the DCFS to pay its cleaners the Living Wage – currently £7.45.

Croydon Green Party supports organisations like London Citizens and congratulates them on their notable successes in the field of social justice.
