A huge privilege to have @JolynneDeSouza as our first shadow trusteeship. She's brought skills, expertise, passion and energy to the role....and it's worked for her too. #WhenItWorksItWorks #Trustees

For those who don’t know, Sharon Daley (@Finaction) died peacefully yesterday with her family by her side. She lived life to the max and the world is definitely worse off without her kindness, generosity and immense fun. Rest in peace my lovely friend.

Our new report out today finds that some of the most vulnerable older people in Great Britain face ‘impossible choices’ around heating or eating and are worried about how to survive the winter as a result of the government’s decision.

Older people in disadvantaged communities face impossible health choices between heating and eating. We are calling on the Chancellor to cancel the proposed changes to Winter Fuel Payment eligibility. https://t.co/oCXkqZ9G07

Michael Nagac from @kanlunganuk talks about importance of providing support for women facing violence in one of many East and South East Asian languages. Exploring trauma is hard, made harder if not in language you feel most comfortable with. @London_cf @MOPACLdn

We are very excited by this partnership with @NIHRSPHR. It will produce invaluable data and insight around third sector involvement in reducing health inequalities.

Without the proper resourcing, millions of private and social renters will continue living in homes that do not meet basic levels of decency. Read our community manifesto for more on what we want to see delivered: https://t.co/SEnn0TGONn.

The commitment to strengthen the enforcement powers for local councils is a critical step towards improving tenants' health. The government must also ensure that local authorities have a fair funding settlement, so that they can adequately enforce existing and new standards.

We also welcome the intention to apply the Decent Homes Standards to the private rented sector. Living in a safe and decent home is an essential building block of health yet millions of private and social renters are living in homes that do not meet basic levels of decency.

Our recent work in Yorkshire and Manchester highlights the appalling housing conditions people are living in and that's why we are calling on the Government to properly resource the enforcement of housing standards in the private rented sector.

One in five private rented homes in England don’t meet decency standards. We’re calling on the government to properly resource the enforcement of housing standards in the private rented sector so that people’s health is not threatened by unfit conditions. https://t.co/Q2ySvUgRaj

Today's tax cuts need to be seen in the context of fourteen years of cuts to public services, worsening population health, low productivity growth and a cost of living driving families to breaking point.

Very excited we are launching this today. We have been discussing the big issues in neighbourhoods across Britain with grassroots community organisations over a number of months to bring this all together. Their insights and expertise sit at the heart of these calls to action.
