Together, we can rewrite their story. 🙌

Louis & Lorcan have so much in common – except the same life expectancy. Because of things like income, housing, and air quality, where you’re born could cut your life short by 16 years.

It’s time for change. 👉 https://t.co/QVpPOPdbTt

Our research out today shows a lack of #SupportedHousing was the biggest reason for delayed discharges from mental health hospitals last year.

This sector is in crisis & without urgent action, more schemes will close.

People won’t ‘get well soon’ without decent sick pay. 💸

That’s why we’re supporting @prog_change's campaign to raise the rate of Statutory Sick Pay, so everyone can afford to take time off to recover from injury or illness.

Support #SafeSickPay. 👉 https://t.co/JlKYhNDt0W

Children growing up in poverty are 4 times more likely to struggle with mental health issues by the time they're 11, compared to kids from wealthier families.

Councils are tackling health inequalities every day – but they can't do it alone. 🔴

High rents are pulling people across the UK into poverty. 🏠

Over 530,000 households with children won't be able to cover rent with housing support by March 2026 – impacting up to 1 million children. 💸

Our member @IPPR says it's down to the government's failure to commit to raising the local housing allowance. ⤵️

[IPPR @IPPR]

🏘️ | NEW REPORT: A combination of welfare reforms, rising numbers of children in the private rented sector and a lack of investment in building social housing has led, and will continue to lead, to increasing child poverty, unless the government acts.
