Liz McCulloch

Senior Campaigns and Public Affairs Manager @jrf_uk with focus on housing and adult social care

[Katie Schmuecker @KatieSchmuecker]

📣New from @jrf_uk

Blunt cuts to social security don’t work-we need to tackle the root causes of need. Hitting 80% employment would reduce Universal Credit spend by £10bn

Polling shows 59% public want causes to be tackled. Just 20% want to restrict eligibility & 8% cut rates

[Joseph Elliott @J_Elliott94]

"Cost-of-living pressures from rent are easing rather than intensifying"?

Not for the 2.3 million private renting households who say it's difficult to afford their rents.

The rate of which rents are rising may be slowing, but renters are still under pressure.

[Liz McCulloch @Liz_McCll]

The PM admitted today that rents are “extremely expensive” - but renters can’t wait years for new supply to catch up.
@jrf_uk is developing a practical solution to the rental affordability crisis, with a report coming in the months ahead.

It's been a real privilege to co-author this year's Kerslake Commission report with @JoeWalkerSM

The report does not shy away from scale of the challenges we face on homelessness and rough sleeping - prevention and system change must form the basis of our response
#kerslake2023

[St Mungo's @StMungos]

Launched today, the latest report from the Kerslake Commission shows the Government will not meet its goal to end rough sleeping by 2024.

The Commission urgently calls for an increase in housing benefit to cover local affordable rents.

It's simply not right that anyone in our society should be forced to turn to a food bank just to get by.

Could you help @TrussellTrust capture the public's attention and bring our narrative to the forefront of the national conversation in creative and intriguing ways?

[The Hepatitis C Trust @HepatitisCTrust]

Thank you to @vickyfoxcroft for meeting our local peer team, @uclh Find & Treat and our partners from @StMungos at the Lewisham Assessment and Recovery Centre hostel today. Great to speak about the work our peers do and what needs to be done to prevent new hepatitis C infections
