Congratulations to all of the students and staff at St Matthew Academy on a record-breaking GCSE Results Day!
Today, I am celebrating the achievements of young people across Lewisham North and beyond, and wishing them the very best as they embark on their next steps.

Pleased to see the Prime Minister announce disabled bus pass holders in England will be able to travel for free at all hours from April next year.
Disability doesn't run on a timetable - this is a welcome step in getting fairer access for the disabled community at all times.
Since April 2025, National Lottery distributors have awarded 83 grants worth over £5.9m to organisations across Lewisham North.
DCMS is seeking views on the future of The National Lottery via its call for evidence - respond by 23 Sept.

So lovely to visit @ctksfc this morning to celebrate Year 13s opening their results.
I was inspired by their optimism and excitement for the future - there were lots of smiles and some well‑deserved ice‑cream!
A huge well done to everyone who got their A-Level and Level 3 qualifications results today.
I hope whatever you go on to next brings new opportunities and success. 🌟

(1/2) This International Youth Day, I'm celebrating the incredible young people in Lewisham North and across the country, and the work we’re doing to back them. I’m proud that earlier this year the Gov launched Youth Matters: our new National Youth Strategy. 🧵
It’s a big day tomorrow for many Year 13s, with A-Level and other Level 3 Qualifications results day just around the corner.
I know lots of young people will be feeling nervous, but support is available - and whatever happens, this is just one step in a much bigger journey. 💜

This £1.5m investment in the Violence Reduction Unit is just one of the fantastic ways our Mayor is keeping vulnerable kids safe during the school break.
In the summer holidays, young people need the same level of support they rely on during term time.
Making London the best place for young people starts with giving every young Londoner the support and opportunities to thrive.
This summer, my @LDN_VRU is joining forces with the Premier League to give young people a safe place to learn new skills.
That's 100 new community mental health centres offering walk‑in support without a referral, and 59 dedicated mental health emergency departments providing specialist care.
After years of people relying on overstretched charities, crisis support is finally being put in place.
We’ve all had some experience of struggles with mental health. Maybe you’ve stood by a loved one in a time of need. Maybe you’ve been through tough moments yourself.
Too often, illness is only half the challenge, with people forced to wait too long and fight too hard to get the help they need.
Today, we’re announcing a major expansion of NHS mental health services so people can get help earlier and closer to home.

I know many families worry about covering vet costs when their pets need care. The Gov wants to change that, by introducing:
🐱 a £21 cap on written prescription fees
🐩 an improved 'Find a Vet' service
🐹 a requirement for practices to publish prices for common treatments

Thank you for getting in touch about the broken lift to platform 4 at #LewishamStation. @Se_Railway assure me staff are on hand to assist passengers with their journeys until repairs are complete. Any issues, do email - [email protected]

Racial inequality in the treatment of Black and Asian women during childbirth has been left unaddressed for years.
Glad to see the Health Secretary announce she will tackle this systemic issue and end the postcode lottery for levels of maternity care.

77% of the public now describe their GP experience as good. 🏥
That's due to our changes - an extra 2000s GPs, £14bn investment, and expanded patient access to online consultations.
Still got a way to go - especially on health inequality - but I'm really proud to see progress.
(1/2) Thank you to everyone who has notified me about the concerning number of Thames Water leaks in Telegraph Hill ward.
I have contacted the CEO of @thameswater and will update you once I receive a response.
(2/2) If you have any urgent queries, please get in touch with my office via [email protected].
I’ve commented on the FB group posts I was tagged in (pending approval) to confirm that I’m following up on the case and to direct residents to my office for updates.

Education should be a passport - to work, to life, to further study. But too many young people are still being shut out.
Everyone deserves an education that matches their high ambitions, not a one‑size‑fits‑all straitjacket.

A pleasure to meet with @LRMNetwork CEO Alan Robertson and Campaigns Manager Meetra Qutb to discuss how their services support people across Lewisham.
I will continue to work with them so we can ensure the best for vulnerable constituents.
