Today 18 of the 19 Hackney students I helped support over the last 2 years have gained their place in medical school - most from low income families with no connection to medicine and nobody who went to university. They’re amazing! Photo of mock interview session last year.

In 1988 TH Lesbian & Gay Group breached Section 28 by donating gay books to Tower Hamlets libraries. Anne Cunningham (2nd from left) relished this, saying she wanted to be the first librarian prosecuted. No action was taken. #LGBThistorymonth #LBTH #TowerHamlets #Section28
