The past few months have been challenging, especially for our children and young people. The disruption to schooling due to the lockdown and the fall-out from the crisis on school exam results has created a crisis of confidence for many of our children & young people. Can the Mayor outline what additional long-term resources are available to further the development of our children and young people?
My constituents have highlighted that it important to honour the work of key workers during the COVID 19 outbreak. Is there scope to erect a permanent sculpture in a prominent London location in which the work and sacrifices which keyworkers have made can be remembered?
Does the Economic Development Unit hold an estimate of the number of non-Trussell Trust food banks operating in London (and if so please provide the number)?
Do you share my concern that Londoners, including children, without recourse to public funds, are more likely to suffer from food insecurity and what can we do to combat this?
Voluntary organisations working to tackle food insecurity have spoken to me about cases in which domestic violence has been linked to food insecurity. How can you work with voluntary organisations in London to make sure we have a holistic approach to tackling food insecurity which offers people the support that they need in a range of areas as well as providing emergency food provision?
