What a great idea bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

Listening to Stuart Andrew at #Housing2022 about the ‘huge challenges’ ahead for housing

Interesting honest conversation at #Housing2022 about the need for greater empathy among housing colleagues for tenants when they raise questions or challenges about the conditions of their homes

Brilliant gig by Jon Richardson tonight O2 City Hall Newcastle. Still laughing all the way home. Gone to bed leaving Daren to turn off all the little lights!

Very important research by Joseph Rowntree Foundation , it's clear that this crisis is deeply impacting the most vulnerable in the UK -7.3 million low income households in this country are going without essentials or are in food insecurity This is why we are backing the #OurEssentials campaign!

Outrageous and totally unacceptable bbc.co.uk/news/disabilit…

With only 9% of UK homes meeting minimum access needs and a cap in The Disabled Facilities Grant not to mention a nationwide housing crisis, moving when you have a disability can be near impossible. I explore more ⬇️ Opinion by Metro.co.uk metro.co.uk/2024/02/14/thi…
