We are pleased to hear that the Gvt is looking to clamp down on unsuitable accommodation standards. @mhclg
We hope the consultation will be a space to involve the lived experience of homeless children and then act on their recommendations to implement Awaab's Law.
Busy few weeks with our team attending 5 party conferences across the country.
Positive change for children in temporary accommodation was demanded across all parties, and under @andyburnham's leadership, now's the time to commit to improving standards, safety and support.
New figures from the Museum of Homelessness & @NCMD_England reveal 51 children experiencing homelessness died in the UK in 2025. 63% of them were under one year old.
All local authorities should be required to record and report homeless deaths in their area, including children.
The Together Service is featured as a best-practice example in new @UKHSA guidance on supporting vaccination of people experiencing homelessness
Our work supporting families & children in temporary accommodation has contributed to improved healthcare access & immunisation uptake
Another @UKLabour conference over with the echoing theme of Hope, one that we can all get behind. Thank you to our panellists at the 165,000 Reasons Fringe. Now back to Brighton for @TheGreenParty
We are very proud of the @LibDems for passing the Policy Motion: Mortality of Children in Temporary Accommodation.
@mbrrace @NCMD_England
We are deeply concerned by the report on @GMB of a woman being sexually assaulted in temporary accommodation. No one should ever face harm in a place meant to provide safety. Our thoughts are with her and with all families who deserve secure, dignified housing.
Thank you to Mums Matter for joining The Together Service for a relaxed and friendly wellbeing session with some of the mums the service supports. 🩵
We welcome @mtpennycook's commitment in the Social Housing Bill debate to pursue changing legislation if guidance is insufficient.
This would help reduce barriers for families who have survived domestic abuse to move out of temporary accommodation.
@DannyBeales @jessphillips
It was great to attend the @HomelessAPPG meeting on Tuesday afternoon, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Homelessness Minister @FloEshalomi and the APPG to end homelessness.

We would love to hear from you!

Powerful speech by @GideonJAmos, @AngelaRayner & @antoniabance in two debates in the Commons last week, highlighting the stark reality of child mortality in temporary accommodation.
We fight to ensure that every homeless baby has a cot to sleep in.

Really pleased to see that children will now be at the centre of all discussions on homelessness.
Canterbury City Council has also just completed consulting on its refreshed homelessness and temporary accommodation strategy, which for the first time will put children first.
