1,611 - the number of people who died in the UK in 2024 while experiencing homelessness – a 9% increase on 2023. This #WorldhomelessDay, it felt right to highlight these shocking figures. No should die without a safe place to call home. https://t.co/XfbkoFg5dz

Hi @Mailchimp - I can't log in to my account, the login page keeps popping up with 'bad gateway'. Are there issues today? If so, any idea when they will be fixed?

A reminder we're taking donations of good quality, warm winter coats, scarves, hats etc at the Arch surgery on Morley St. We try to keep a stock of winter items to give to patients who need these over the colder months. Thank you for any items you can spare. 🙏

Felt even more proud to work for such a brilliant organisation which makes a genuine and rare difference while putting this report together.

This White Ribbon Day, we wanted to highlight the close link between violence against women and homelessness. The following report by @HomelessLink details the high levels of domestic violence experienced by women who are homeless https://t.co/LOHDdDUtTo (1/2)

If you're in Brighton - here's how you can help anyone rough sleeping to get out of the cold this week.

[Arch Health CIC @archhealthcic]

We're expecting very cold weather this week so the council's SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) will be activated Tues - Friday. If you are rough sleeping you can self refer (or if you're aware of someone else you can refer them) via Street Link https://t.co/yWKgI72ZOg

As the weather gets colder, we're replenishing our stock of winter coat, hats etc. which we keep for patients who don't have these. If you have any suitable warm/waterproof coats or other similar items, we'd be grateful if you could drop them off to the surgery on Morley Street💜

Can’t wait to see Kemi try &claw her way back from this one. People are already having less children because they can’t afford it. Who does she think will make up the tax paying workforce when our generation retire & want a triple locked state pension? https://t.co/oJ6d5yPpM1

It was a pleasure to host a team from NHS England recently so they could meet our fantastic team members, see Arch services in action and understand how we're addressing health inequalities. We were thrilled to read this lovely blog after their visit too https://t.co/HRxia2RY0F

On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay it's worth remembering people experiencing homelessness are at a higher risk of death by suicide than the general population. For information & resources on suicide prevention see these excellent guides by @HomelessLink https://t.co/o8lLMVU3a3

I wanted to feel more jubilant tonight but I just can’t seeing the numbers for Reform. If the left legitimise Reform’s brand of cynical racism by increasing their own migrant bashing we’ll end up with our own Le Penn in a few short years.
