Violent night violent night
All is harm all is fight
Found unstirring mother and child
Holding infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Good quality, affordable and safe housing is vital to good mental health. Our home shouldn’t just be a roof over our heads but also a safe, supportive place to live. Poor housing can worsen our mental health problems #wellbeing #belonging #community

[The Elders @TheElders]

Mary Robinson reacts to the release of the draft text at #COP28:

“It is not good enough to say you recognise and respect the science but then fail to take heed of its dire warnings in the collective action you commit to.

It is not good enough to note with ‘alarm and serious concern’ the findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the damage being caused by climate change but then fail to put in place the steps the science recommends.

It is not good enough to say you reaffirm the Paris Agreement but to then fail to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out.

It is not good enough to use weak language or to permit loopholes for the fossil fuel industry to continue to contribute to the very problem countries are meant to be committed to tackling here in Dubai.

Adequate time and opportunity still lie ahead, provided that nations promptly return to the negotiating table, equipped with the resolve required for a crisis of this magnitude and a readiness to undertake the necessary measures. This current version of the COP28 text is grossly insufficient.”

[Rebecca Wymer | Nutritionist | NHWWH @RebeccaWymer]

NHS Highland CEO responded by insinuating we are requesting all services to be available in Caithness.

Not true.

We are asking for BASIC healthcare at a safe level, which we had and was removed without assessment

Basic Human Rights are not a luxury

Thanks to tenants at #BananaFlats (Cables Wynd House, Edinburgh) for inviting our Director @Clare_MacG to chat about housing rights.

"It's exciting to see tenants actively monitoring how @Edinburgh_CC can work on housing rights breaches and deliver tenants' right to housing."
