A huge privilege to have @JolynneDeSouza as our first shadow trusteeship. She's brought skills, expertise, passion and energy to the role....and it's worked for her too. #WhenItWorksItWorks #Trustees
We started this #TrusteesWeek featuring our long standing trustee. Today we hear from our Shadow Trustee @JolynneDeSouza about her first experience and ours of a shadow trusteeship.

For those who don’t know, Sharon Daley (@Finaction) died peacefully yesterday with her family by her side. She lived life to the max and the world is definitely worse off without her kindness, generosity and immense fun. Rest in peace my lovely friend.

Our new report out today finds that some of the most vulnerable older people in Great Britain face ‘impossible choices’ around heating or eating and are worried about how to survive the winter as a result of the government’s decision.

Michael Nagac from @kanlunganuk talks about importance of providing support for women facing violence in one of many East and South East Asian languages. Exploring trauma is hard, made harder if not in language you feel most comfortable with. @London_cf @MOPACLdn
Sophie Lindon @MOPACLdn says violence against women and girls at epidemic levels with 1 in 12 women and girls experiencing violence. and that grassroots work is an important part of wider strategy to address behaviour of men. @London_cf
@wesstreeting says that if we need reform of @NHS AND public health or we risk higher costs for healthcare and higher taxes. @lorddarzi
We are very excited by this partnership with @NIHRSPHR. It will produce invaluable data and insight around third sector involvement in reducing health inequalities.
We are collaborating with @NIHRSPHR to assess voluntary sector schemes addressing health inequalities.
The Voluntary Sector Evaluation Scheme pilot will focus on discrimination and health and jobs, young people and health.

Without the proper resourcing, millions of private and social renters will continue living in homes that do not meet basic levels of decency.

ALT One in five private rented homes in England don't meet the Decent Homes Standard.

The commitment to strengthen the enforcement powers for local councils is a critical step towards improving tenants' health.
The government must also ensure that local authorities have a fair funding settlement, so that they can adequately enforce existing and new standards.
John Hume retweeted
We also welcome the intention to apply the Decent Homes Standards to the private rented sector.
Living in a safe and decent home is an essential building block of health yet millions of private and social renters are living in homes that do not meet basic levels of decency.

We know that poor housing affects health and we welcome the focus on housing conditions in today’s #KingsSpeech with the introduction of the Renters Rights Bill and the abolition of section 21 no fault evictions.

Our recent work in Yorkshire and Manchester highlights the appalling housing conditions people are living in and that's why we are calling on the Government to properly resource the enforcement of housing standards in the private rented sector.

Today's tax cuts need to be seen in the context of fourteen years of cuts to public services, worsening population health, low productivity growth and a cost of living driving families to breaking point.
We're taking mental health outdoors. Very happy to be launching Nature for Health pot supporting people with poor mental health into natural spaces/activities. We know that more access to nature means more years of healthy life.

Very excited we are launching this today. We have been discussing the big issues in neighbourhoods across Britain with grassroots community organisations over a number of months to bring this all together.
Their insights and expertise sit at the heart of these calls to action.
Today we’re launching our Community manifesto for health justice.
We need the next government to put in place the building blocks of health.
And we need urgent action.
