A public health campaign is vital to educate the public about the impact of dirty air.

According to child mortality data (2020-2024) 54 Children and Young People died from asthma and anaphylaxis. The deaths were linked to air pollution. According to @ “30,000 people die annually due to air pollution” (2025).

Talking to doctors and nurses at Kings College for Black History Month about health inequalities and how they can be improved; a lovely evening.

Being interviewed by Noel Nelson at the Routes to Clean Air Conference hosted by the Institute of Air Quality Management.

Last week in Leeds with the lovely Tracy Brabin Mayor of West Yorkshire. We had a lovely meeting discussing as always air pollution, hopefully the first of many.

I attended the Black History Month celebration at City Hall which was an absolute pleasure. This year's slogan "Standing Firm in Power and Pride" is extremely important in today's political climate and 'pays tribute to the unwavering commitment to progress that defines the black community globally'.

Day 1,2&3 at the Royal Court of Justice: 10 years later, diesel gate has made it to court. The UK government needs to commit to a public awareness campaign on air pollution. Every week 500 people die prematurely due to air pollution - Royal College of Physicians.

Today in Liverpool with health professionals at The Labour Party Conference with the RCPCH; addressing air quality. We discussed the damage toxic air is doing to people, with the knowledge of 97% of addresses in the UK exceeding the WHO recommendations for one of three key air pollutants.

A amazing event hosted by the Schwarzenegger Institute, a great opportunity meeting inspiring people who work towards educating people on the climate crisis:
Cesar Aguirre, Dr. Joe Lyou, John Danielson, Nalleli Coco, Monic Uriarte, Taj Ahmad Eldridge, Tara Roth, Andrea Vidauure, Mark Lopez.

Visiting the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator. I was able to meet with Matt Petersen the President and CEO of LACI, and also had the chance to tell Ella's story to some of the leadership team. We were also given a tour of the labs at the LA Krez Innovation Campus by Mike Swords and Nick Albert.

With Damien Egan (former Mayor of Lewisham) in 2022 approving the site for the statue. We look forward to welcoming him back to see the finished project.

Announcing my honorary fellowship. This was 1995 with my foster parents after receiving my BSc in Psychology at Middlesex University. They were great foster parents (Nanny and Uncle as I called them). ❤️

Recently with Jane the CEO of the Clean Air Fund, who supports the foundation, came down for a meeting discussing #Ella’sLaw and visiting her statue in Mountsfield Park.

In 2019 before Ella Roberta’s second inquest I was interviewed by @clivemurray about why the expansion of ULEZ was difficult but necessary. Today in the UK every month a child still dies from asthma. #phaseoutdiesel #asthmadeath #london

Moderate ozone #airpollution forecast for today 28th and tomorrow 29th🟠
Ozone rises through the day peaking around 6pm so best time to avoid it is the mornings.

Asthma and I are certainly not friends. After all these yrs it’s still a mystery to me. For 6 yrs the week leading up to Ella’s anniversary on Feb 15, her brother was always admitted to hospital. The staff at our local hospital would expect him and get ready for his admission.

We need the air quality displays in public spaces to raise awareness of the impact of air pollution on human health.

Coming April/May 2025. Please come and join us at the unveiling of Ella Roberta’s statute in Mountsfield Park in Hither Green just off the Sth Circular 🙏🏽

2 months to what should be Ella Roberta’s 21st birthday. There are days it feels so long & lonely. There are other days when it feels just like yesterday. Below her classmates sharing their emotions at the time of her passing & trying to understand. Asthma deaths are sudden, emotional & complicated.
