The Peers’ Staff Network was set up in Irving Anderson’s memory (whose original idea it was), he worked extremely hard to get it up and running before his sudden death in November 2024. Irving worked for Lord Norton of Louth for many years and felt there was room for a Peers’ Staff Network so staff could have space to communicate, network, mentor and support each other.
To join the network please contact rivisn@parliament.uk

You are warmly invited to the next Working Through Cancer Network event where you can hear more about the purpose of the network, the support we are building and how to get involved.
We are delighted that The Rt Hon Wes Streeting MP, former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, will be joining us to speak about his personal experience of cancer, the challenges of balancing treatment with public life and the insights he has gained from navigating a cancer diagnosis whilst serving in one of the most senior roles in Government.
About the Network
The Working Through Cancer Network exists to support parliamentary staff and others affected by cancer — whether as a patient, carer, line manager, or colleague. We are also developing practical support, including a buddy system and guidance for navigating the help available in Parliament.
RSVP
If you’re planning to attend, in person or online, please RSVP to dan.horrocks@parliament.uk so we can get an idea of numbers.
We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a thoughtful and inspiring discussion.
The LWPSN is a great social network for women who work for Labour MPs and Peers, including constituency staff and interns. We are an inclusive network, open to all women.
If you would like to join the LWPSN, join our WhatsApp Group or have any questions, please email us at LWPSN@parliament.uk with your name, who you work for and your number – and someone will be in touch!
