Fuel poverty is a threat to people’s physical and mental health.
In our new report, we heard of the health impacts already felt by older people in disadvantaged communities.

While a fall in inflation is generally good news for consumers, September’s lower than expected figure is what will be used to determine the rise to benefits next spring.
As a result millions of people who are already struggling will be less able to afford the essentials.
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.

It was incredibly concerning speaking to so many older people’s groups about the looming cuts to Winter Fuel Payments. The pressures and the risks to the health of pensioners this winter are profound.
Pensioners fear for their survival with an "impossible choice" of heating or eating after the winter fuel payment was cut, new report by @Peoples_health warns

Outrageous that 1 in 5 privately rented homes doesn’t meet decent homes standard = more than a million families & households paying rent to live in conditions posing serious risks to health
Good coverage of @Peoples_health analysis in @Independent@yorkshirepost@MENnewsdesk
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.

Important message from @health_equals:
"Without the building blocks of health and wellbeing – such as good jobs, quality homes, a healthy environment – the country will not thrive. In far too many of our communities, these building blocks are crumbling"
