I acknowledge receipt of this email and our subsequent conversation this morning Mervelee.
Please be advised that I have not been well and have been recovering after the funeral and 2 court appearances on your behalf last week.
I will revert in due course to Anthony about our conversation prior to the hearings on Thursday and also representing you as a McKenzie friend for the second hearing.
I found the second judge sympathetic and reasonable the first Judge was rather hostile to all of us.
May I have your permission to approach Southwark Council and escalate a Needs Assessment urgently on your behalf given what you have communicated to me verbally on Thursday and also after both court hearings and your distressed state today.
Please respond in the affirmative in writing and furnish me with your historic GP details name, Practice and telephone number and also please remind me of your housing provider for the time being.
I sympathasise at the lack of support inthe community. Unfortunately there are not enough good people doing volunteering and support in the collective community.
Please think about attending church and asking for help and outreach to Jamaican outreach in Southwark.
I will make an urgent referral today to Southwark Council on your behalf and will include you in my email routing.
ok i will undertake this now
Hi Mervelee we spoke yesterday and I spent a couple of hours drafting the letter and undertaking research for you having spoken to you and obtained your consent to make a safeguarding referral on your behalf. I can appreciate that this is very difficult for you. I have received the long email yesterday asking me about the legal document and responded that Anthony is helping you with that and has been for 2 years. I also undertook further research on your behalf in Southwark and sent it to you. i am sorry to learn that you are so overwhelmed but it will be normal for anyone in your circumstances. please consider going in person and requesting help, a support worker from Southwark Council will be assigned to you and the Mayor and 2 other Councillors were emailed yesterday. i would encourage you to find a church near you and do your best to try to help yourself as much as you can. i have spent at least another hour today drafting an email to Anthony updating him following the court hearing and responding to you. I can appreciate it is very difficult for you but although I have sympathy and compassion for you I cannot give you much more of my time and attention . I am also helping somebody else in another Borough and need to return to supporting them. Its difficult but you are a person of faith Mervelee and 4 people came to help you on Thursday. i dont know what support you are gettign via your youtbue channel and the freedom movement please think about engaging with them directly also and start expanding your network dear. i will try to call you again but need to prioritise somebody else who is equally overwhelmed with no family in the UK

Dear Madam
Re Mrs Mervelee Myers of Southwark Housing for Women: 16 Alma Grove Bermondsey SE1 5PY
Please be advised that I met the above cited individual last week when I attended at Court with her for an eviction hearing at Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court on 20th March 2025 brought by Southwark Housing for Women, followed by a committal process.
In the second case of a committal hearing the Judge awarded a two year suspended custodial sentence of Mrs Mervelee Myers.
Please be advised that as an advocate in the community with significant experience of representing vulnerable individuals and communities I have experience representing the vulnerable who find themselves, homeless, dispossessed, not in receipt of benefits and advocating on their behalf mostly to a raft of disparate Councils as well as representations to the DWP for benefits / reinstatement of benefits and representations for access to health services and referrals.
Please be advised that I have volunteered for decades and also volunteer directly with refugees and indirectly (via Haringey Council historically) and am also recognised as a Family Mosaic Community Champion. I have also volunteered for Victim Support to give emotional and practical support for victims and witnesses of crime.
Please be advised that I met Mrs Myers and took a brief history from her last Thursday 20th March 2025 where she advised that she has no current GP and is unable to elicit the NHS for assistance, despite significant health problems, including but not limited to blood pressure problems, Parkinson’s and anxiety and panic attacks.
She also advised me that she has suffered discrimination and harassment and multiple safeguarding failings whilst resident at the above property.
Having decades of experience as a volunteer I am concerned for the well-being of Mrs Myers who I believe is suffering from historic and recent trauma and may suffer from cognitive impairment and is very overwhelmed. Mrs Myers advises me that she does not have a support worker If you could kindly expedite the relevant referral urgently to Adult Social Services I would be obliged wherein Mrs Myers may be able to expand on her challenges and limited circumstances.
I would be most obliged if you would be kindly enough to arrange a Needs Assessment urgently for this vulnerable individual at your earliest convenience and involve the appropriate Councillors for support including but not limited to Councillor Evelyn Akoto, Cabinet Member for Health and Well being and also Councillor Sam Dalton, Deputy Cabinet Member for Supported Housing.
Please be advised that you may reach Mrs Myers directly by telephone on 07950 618 083
I would be obliged for your urgent response and arranging the Needs Assessment and relevant signposting for support in the community also.
Please be advised that you may reach Mrs Myers directly by telephone on 07950 618 083
