I'm the Lead Organiser for North London Citizens, part of the Citizens UK network, and am priviledged to work with an amazing team and lots of fantastic leaders across the five best London boroughs! 

I can't wait for the coming months, there is so much to do - in north London we are campaigning for the first Living Wage football club and fighting to improve the social care system.

In the last year alone, Citizens UK has accredited hundreds of Living Wage employers, placed young people into high tech apprenticeships, created more than 50 CitySafe Zones and secured the first urban community land trust, a new way to make homes affordable.

All this fantastic work costs money - and fundraising is a constant challenge for us. So as a staff team we have decided to run 10K and to ask our friends and family for help. Please give whatever you can.
