We concluded that the water poverty definition used in the UK is inadequate for capturing the lived experience of struggling households and obscures the perpetuation of water injustice.
Using social justice theory and vulnerability theory, we found that households in Scotland face unequal barriers and burdens to afford and access safe drinking water.🥤
Our @echcharity#Haven in #Tranent is just 4wks old & hosted 100 visits. Is it working? Feedback from children & families says it is - "It's the first time in a long time I feel some relief", "I feel like a weight has been lifted", "I felt stressed, now I feel normal"

@GbdocTChost A1: Traumatic. Didn't meet my baby for 11 hours after birth because he was in NICU and I wasn't allowed to leave my ward to visit him with a BM of 10.5 (I couldn't get it down with the stress, they wanted it <10) #gbdoc
