I met with Tyne and Wear Citizens to give them an update following a meeting we had during the General Election campaign.

We discussed a number of important issues including mental health, homelessness and rights at work and it was good to meet those working in care to hear first hand concerns. I also
heard from students at St Thomas More.

My thanks to all who attended and particularly to Fr Chris for organising and Tim O’Grady for chairing the meeting.
