Our Chair Jim Shannon MP starting our meeting today remembering friend of the APPG Tony Lloyd, and setting out the urgent need to take forward the key asks in our #HealthyHomesManifesto
Jim Shannon MP Fred Weissenborn from the Design Council advocated for building regulations which incorporate health measures. Homes should be thoughtfully designed to support people throughout their lives, considering mobility as well as access to transport and amenities. #HealthyHomesNow
Jim Shannon MP Julia Thrift Town & Country Planning Association The Health Foundation BRE Group Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee @BrineMP said the Committee want to see the Government do more to recognise the impact of housing on health, including a clear timeframe for reforming the Decent Home Standard #HealthyHomesNow
Wise words from our other parliamentary panellist Natalie Elphicke Ross OBE who says we should rename every department in Government the "housing department" because decent housing is the springboard to be able to live independent, successful and healthy lives. #HealthyHomesNow
We're glad Friends of the Earth new report highlights just how many of us (9.6m!) are living in cold, damp and poorly insulated homes which impact our health. As set out in our Healthy Homes Manifesto, everyone has the right to live in a healthy home.

Building health into housing is key to achieving Labour's #PlanForChange. Tomorrow, the HHB APPG will bring together health and housing experts to examine why healthy homes and buildings must be at the heart of Labour's 5 missions to unlock growth. #HHBAPPG Gill Morris
