I am looking forward to chairing a Fabian Women’s Network panel event with Seema Malhotra MP – Minister for Indo-Pacific, and Equalities.

Started 2026 celebrating Sara Hyde’s introduction to the Lords — such a proud moment. A packed afternoon tea followed with Labour peers, MPs, Fabian women, councillors, civil servants, third‑sector colleagues and her brilliant family and friends made the day special. 🙌🏾 Baroness Hyde of Bemerton

Final day at Crisis 🍽️ Big emotions today — light moments, tough moments, and the reality of homelessness in full view. 280 guests, 609 meals today. 2,370 meals this week. Chef Yvonne’s seven desserts were the highlight 👑 Proud of this community. #EndHomelessness #Community

Day 2 in the Crisis kitchen 🍽️ 312 guests served with care and dignity — an army‑like team, beautiful food, and Chef Yvonne’s unforgettable roasted mango slices 🍊 Proud of this community. Back again tomorrow ✨ #EndHomelessness #CrisisSupport #Community #DignityInAction

Day 1 back in the Crisis kitchen 🍽️ 280 guests served with care, choice and dignity — incredible teamwork and real humanity. Tired, grateful, and back again tomorrow ✨ #EndHomelessness #CrisisSupport #Community #DignityInAction

At Bondi Beach, Chanukah joy was shattered by hate. Jewish communities deserve safety & peace. In the darkness, Muslim ally Ahmed AlAhmed showed extraordinary courage, proof we will not let hate divide us. #BondiShooting #Solidarity #Chanukah #Unity

Prisoners visited by family are 40% less likely to re‑offend. At Pact’s Advent Service we heard lived voices that prove why connection matters. 120,000 children face Christmas with a parent behind bars. Loved canapes provided by @TheClinkCharity at the reception Thx to @AndyKeenDowns for the invite

Meeting Jacinda Ardern was inspiring. Her reflections showed optimism, kindness & resilience as moral courage. Huge thx to Natasa Pantelic & LWPSN for a great event with @FabianWomen in Parliament. Bonus that Jacinda signed my copy of her book A Different Kind of Power — “Keep going.”

Honoured to be re‑elected Chair of the Fabian Women’s Network and to join The Fabian Society’s Executive Committee. Looking forward to working with fellow members to champion inclusive leadership, amplify women’s voices, and shape policy for a fairer future. #WomenInPolitics #SocialJustice

Black History Month isn’t a box to tick but a call to truth-telling. Proud to share a blog series from The Fabian Women’s Network honouring Black women whose legacy inspires us daily. I honoured Mary Seacole. Read the full series: fabianwomen.org.uk/blog #BHM2025 #PowerAndPride #BlackWomenLead 🌹

Was very interesting to hear @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & @lucympowell.bsky.social insightful answers in @thefabians.bsky.social’s hustings yesterday chaired by Chair @drsarahyde.bsky.social, General Secretary @joedromey.bsky.social & Chair of Fabian Women’s Network @mmasters21.bsky.social.

🩸 Black blood donors—this Saturday in Brixton 🩸 Ro blood saves lives. Only 3% of donors have it. 47% of Black heritage donors do. Ro is vital for sickle cell patients. You might be the match they need. 📍 Book now: blood.co.uk/groupbookings #GiveBlood #SickleCellAwareness #BlackHealthMatters

Great #StreathamWells community action day to tackle a fly tipping hotspot. Cllr Malcolm Clark & I would like to thank residents who helped & a big shout out to Jason from Freshview. We had great weather for building and painting planters and doing other tasks to brighten up the neighbourhood.

Huge honour to hear from social justice giants Lord Alf Dubs & Baroness Helena Kennedy at Alf Dubs Lecture Trust event. The theme “Is international law unravelling?" was depressing. The global rise of right wing populism has encouraged the attack of law & human rights in so many parts of the world!
