Lilian visited Nottingham Emmanuel school today and met with staff and pupils on her tour of the school.

Lilian said “It was really good to come along and chat to the Sixth Form about issues that they’re interested in. They had some really good questions! There was such a broad range of things that they wanted to ask about.” The students asked questions about many topics ranging from the impact of the EU on fisheries and on a personal note, what I would do if I became Prime Minister. “They were really engaged and it was fantastic for me to be able to talk to young people at the school about the things that matter to them.”

On Monday Lilian joined dozens of MPs from across the political spectrum in support of the TUC’s ‘Dying to Work’ campaign, calling for a change in the workplace protection for employees who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

The campaign has been endorsed by a number of trade unions and charities, including Breast Cancer Care and Second Hope, and energy company, E.On became the first company to sign the Dying to Work voluntary charter to provide support to their employees and the campaign.

Lilian visited Nottingham Liberal Synagogue today, and met with Rabbi Tanya and to learn more about @sash kitchen.

Lilian was proud to present the award for the Long Serving Volunteer, to mark outstanding service, to Pat Gordon, who founded Vernon Colts FC 23 years ago and gives up his evenings and weekends to support the club and the community.  The Lord Mayor's Volunteer Awards recognise the efforts of our unsung army of volunteers who are so important to the city.

Lilian was proud to join the Lord Mayor, Councillor Jackie Morris and families to launch the Nottinghamshire branch of the National Autistic Society to coincide with World Autism Awareness Week . As part of the event, Nottingham City Council also launched a dedicated website for autistic people and their families to provide information and support.  Congratulations to all involved.

Lilian visited Greencroft to discuss with tenants and officers from NCHA the impact that plans to limit the maximum Housing Benefit payable to Local Housing Allowance level will have on supported and independent living.

Lilian also visited Lilac Court together with senior managers from NCHA. She met with residents to listen to their concerns. They were particularly affected by changes to local bus services and I undertook to write to NCT asking whether they would be meeting with residents at Lilac Court to discuss their concerns.

Lilian met with residents on the Nobel Road Estate, alongside Councillors Chris Gibson, Steve Young and volunteers, to discuss the solid wall insulation scheme that she successfully campaigned for.    Lots of support from residents for #labourinforbritain.
