It was an honour to join Londoners at City Hall to celebrate Black History Month under this year’s theme ‘Standing Firm in Power and Pride’. A time to celebrate Black excellence, reflect on how far we’ve come and stand firm together in our fight for equality.

Rest In Peace Elianne Andam Eunice 💕🙏🏾 news.met.police.uk/news/teenage... #EndViolence #VAWG #InvestInOurYouths
Elianne Andam MuralThe tragic loss of Elianne Andam deeply affected all of us in Croydon. My heartfelt sympathies go out to her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
We came together as a community, united in our grief and determination to prevent such tragedies happening again. The verdict delivered reflects the seriousness of this crime. While the sentence may be grounding, it will never heal the pain and loss felt by Elianne's family and friends.
Preventing violence against women and girls is essential.  We must enhance both health and social care provisions to support at-risk individuals and those affected by violence. As we remember Elianne, we must continue to enhancing our youth provisions, ensuring young people have access to safe spaces and resources. Our community's strength lies in the ability to support each other, a community founded on kindness, respect, and mutual support.
Every young life is valued, and no family should endure such pain.
May you RIP Elianne Andam 
Eunice 💕🙏🏾

Merry Christmas to All

As we gather to celebrate this joyous season, let us take a moment to embrace the spirit of togetherness and compassion. 

For everyone celebrating Christmas, may your hearts be filled with love, cheer, and the warmth of family and friends.

Let us also remember those who are no longer with us. Their memories shine brightly 

in our hearts, and their legacies continue to inspire us every day.
In this season of giving, let us extend our thoughts and support to those who are in need or suffering. 

May our compassion and kindness bring comfort to those who are facing challenges and hardships.

Wishing everyone a season filled with love, peace, and hope. May we all find strength in unity and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Warmest wishes,

Eunice
Cllr. Eunice O'Dame
