Health is greatly aided by tailored debt advice - which connects with creditors, grows income, links housing support and is personal, accessible, inclusive.

Energy bills add to debt in a big way. Let's explore the energy sector's role in paying its fair share & protecting health

💷 Essential costs - like energy bills - have skyrocketed, hitting household budgets and health. More people need free and inclusive debt advice, which is funded through a levy on banks.

We believe there is scope for energy firms to fund these services: https://t.co/Or5ep4S7Nq

Great to host campaigners, health professionals & birth practitioners in Parliament today to mark Black Maternal Health Awareness Week.

With growing awareness of the racism that impacts Black mothers, let's keep working to turn this consciousness into better care #BMHAW24

[Barbara Reichwein @breichwein]

So pleased share our partnership with @NHSSELondon to co-design improvements and rebuild trust in mental and maternal healthcare with and for Black residents. To achieve health equity in cities, we must be start with people whose health is on the line. Excited for this!

No matter where you work, healthy working conditions are key to good health. Today’s launch highlighted the need to build trust with and listen deeply to employees so their needs and experiences can be fully integrated into plans for better health.

Huge kudos to @MartinSLewis, @BimAfolami, @lucianaberger, Sheldon Mills, and Muna Yassin from our partners @RootedFinance for their words at our partners @mmhpi's event yesterday 👏
Financial debt affects our health.
To build solutions we need to understand the problem...🧵👇

[Barbara Reichwein @breichwein]

Muna Yassin, CEO of @RootedFinance :
"Why are we chasing people 5 times a day? It wouldn't happen in a company’s sales team. So why the collections team?
"We needs a cultural shift towards respect & dignity. If your system doesn't have that at its core, you must redesign it."

A big thank you to everybody that said hello to the @ImpUrbanHealth team at #HCD2023. 🙌🏿

This year’s @HCDCongress was an inspiring meeting of minds that we are proud to support.

My main takeaway: being obsessively collaborative is key to delivering healthier cities 1/3

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

Many thanks to everyone who came to our lunchtime workshop Housing at Health Equity at #HCD2023. Following a rich discussion with our panel we had a range of insightful and incisive questions highlighting how integral housing is to health equity.
