Imagine making every kids’ meal with a kettle 3 times a day for months. That’s life for thousands of families in temporary accommodation.
@trustforlondon are calling on councils to #FixTheFiveBasics - kitchen, washing machine, storage, Wi-Fi & information.

@centreforlondon @trustforlondon 2/2 A truly Fair Work Agency must reflect the realities of migrant workers—and commit to practical solutions that address their specific challenges. Inclusion, protection, and accountability must be at its core.

This will play out within boroughs, too, with deep inequality often on the same street.

Which London boroughs have higher levels of poverty? How does the picture of inequality differ across boroughs?

The latest data on London's borough level poverty..

[Trust for London @trustforlondon]

This data illustrates how, in London, wealth and poverty sit side by side

Richmond, one of the most affluent parts of the city, borders with Hounslow, which has higher levels of poverty.

At a time when millions of Londoners are struggling to get by, the cuts will only serve to push many - including hundreds of thousands of Disabled people - into impossible situations.

[Trust for London @trustforlondon]

The government cannot balance the books on the backs of sick and Disabled people.

We welcome the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan's intervention and the growing opposition from MPs to the government's proposed £5bn cuts to health and sickness benefits.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

I'm calling on the Government to urgently rethink its proposed changes to welfare.

Analysis of the proposals shows that the impact will be substantial, destroying the financial safety net for too many disabled Londoners.

Half of London’s children are growing up without enough for a basic standard of living, our new research shows.

The new Minimum Income Standard for London report explores how much it costs to live in London - not just to survive, but to take part in society.

The key findings...

[Trust for London @trustforlondon]

The Minimum Income Standard for London research is carried out by the Centre for Research in Social Policy (@CRSP_LboroUni @crspMatt).

It's based on detailed conversations with Londoners about how much a decent standard of living costs.
