I loved meeting Chloe @EmmausNorfolk_W where she lives and works with 30 other people who were previously homeless. She says they are like a big family and they have supported her to stop drinking, after becoming addicted to alcohol at the age of 11.

The mum of a paramedic who took her own life says she was abandoned by her mental health team. Rebecca wanted to be a paramedic from the age of 3 and lived for her job. If she couldn’t access support then what hope is there for others, her mum asks. https://t.co/a1gMerLRY0
Our calculations show high energy use households like Yvette's spend £809+ more a year than average (based on Ofgem figures).
It's unconscionable that #disability#CostOfLiving payments stopped last summer.
Government should announce support in the Spring Budget if not before.
Yvette doesn’t eat dinner since a cost of living payment from the govt ended. She needs her heating on because her disabled daughter can’t regulate her body temperature. Charities like @scope and @sensecharity are asking for the payment to be reinstated https://t.co/gJLFdWg4Xg
