This Diabetes Week, I want to shine a light on a condition that touches millions — and the strength of the people living with it every day. It’s a cause that is incredibly close to our family’s heart.

I still remember the day our daughter was diagnosed with Type 1. Our world changed overnight. We learned firsthand the relentless daily challenges, the overwhelming adjustments, and the constant vigilance that go with such a diagnosis.

That’s why this year, one of the charities I’m supporting is Diabetes UK Bexley Support Group — a community that makes sure no one has to deal with diabetes on their own. The group meets every month and provides advice, support and collective strength.

Whether you’re managing diabetes, supporting someone who is, or learning for the first time, you’re part of this movement.

This diabetes week, let’s talk, learn, and take action — together. Make sure you can spot the signs. Fatigue, thirst, blurry vision — early awareness can change a life.

And please support my charity appeal this year.

On the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings, the Deputy Mayor took part in today's Honour Walk with the The Royal British Legion - Bexleyheath and Welling Branch.

The event would not have been possible without the support of the young people from the Police Cadets and Bexley & Lewisham Sea Cadets marshaling to make sure no one strayed too far off course.

It was humbling to see not just one, but three different community organisations, coming together, Simunye Bexley, to support a group to which we all owe so much, our veterans.

Thank you to everyone involved today, whether they be volunteers, participants or supporters.

The Deputy Mayor celebrated national at the newly refurbished Mr Chippy on Parkside Parade, alongside Barnehurst Councillors Howard Jackson and Michael Gillespie, Cabinet Member for Environment, Culture, and Leisure, Cllr Rags Sandhu, and Deputy Leader of the Council, Cllr Cameron Smith.

Whilst there, the Deputy Mayor met with Mel and Julie, who run the Slade Green Food Bank and heard about the services they provide to the most vulnerable in our community and the support they receive from Mr Chippy. The spirit of Bexley, Bexley Together on full display.

The Deputy Mayor was honoured to attend his first Citizenship Ceremony.

It was a privilege to welcome Bexley’s newest citizens as they made their pledge and began this exciting new chapter in their lives. Our borough is strengthened by the people who choose to make it their home, contribute to our communities and share in our future.

To all our new citizens, congratulations, and a very warm welcome, and thank you as always to Tariq Images for the excellent photography.

Last night was one of those moments that truly shows what Bexley Together is all about.

Although not all live in our borough, the volunteers from the Community Hospice are a real example that our strength comes from standing together, supporting one another, and making sure no one is left to struggle.

Across Greenwich and Bexley, the Hospice helps people live as well as they can for as long as they can in a way that honours their values, beliefs and lifestyle.

The volunteers cover a range of roles, from welcoming families at reception, to keeping the grounds looking beautiful, working in shops, and visiting isolated neighbours who need a friendly face.

Their compassion, their time, their humanity - they change lives. They bring dignity. They bring comfort and they bring hope.

It was a privilege to present awards to a few of them and to speak to many more.

From the bottom of my heart - thank you.

Every day, lots of amazing volunteers do amazing things across our borough - and I want to say THANK YOU!

Our volunteers show what "Bexley Together" looks like. They make everyday choices to support others, to offer comfort in the hardest moments and make sure no-one is left to struggle alone.

Your compassion, your time, your humanity - they change lives.

The Deputy Mayor attended the 10th Anniversary celebrations of Blackfen Community Library, to thank volunteers for over a decade of service, and transforming this site from a simple library into a community hub right in the heart of Blackfen.

Several residents gave powerful accounts of what the library meant to them, and how it had helped them through some of the most harrowing and difficult challenges any of us can face in life.

This was followed by a fun, light hearted, telling of a children's story to emphasise the importance of building relationships in life, not just looking after ourselves.

Thank you to Paul, Paula, and the wider team for everything you do.

The Deputy Mayor was honoured to attend the annual Feast Of Title at Holy Trinity Lamorbey alongside Deputy Lord Lieutenant David Easton.

The service focused on the meaning of the Holy Trinity itself. With each individual part of the Trinity, also being united Together as one, a parishioner even commented on the similarity to the mayoral theme this year, Simunye Bexley or Bexley Together.

Thank you to Father Jim and the wider congregation for the invitation and warm welcome. We hope to be back soon!

On the first day of our mayoralty, we had the privilege of congratulating our borough’s newest citizens at their citizenship ceremony.

It was a glorious day at Danson House and we so enjoyed chatting to so many afterwards over a cup of tea.

We are so happy to be back working with our friends at the Danson House / Bexley Register Office - such a wonderful team!

Thank you to Tariq Images for the superb pics to mark the special day.
