Thank you to everyone involved this week 👋🏽Whichever party owns the discussion - and action - on homes will stand to win a lot of votes at the general election - housing hot on the #CPC2022 agenda 👋🏽#CostofLivingCrisis briefing with @TrussellTrust https://t.co/xaUoTUNLaC
Pleased to have responded to @DCMS Dormant Assets Funding consultation on behalf of place-based housing providers We've backed @CommWealthFund's call to use the next wave of dormant assets to create an independent Community Wealth Fund #ISupportTheCWF https://t.co/5syXwC63lA
Thank you to @TrussellTrust for briefing chaired by @originhousing. So many factors as well as food poverty that reduce people's quality of life such as loneliness and isolation. Good to hear what members are doing - and to learn from each other. https://t.co/sR7nRdY4tk
"People are embarrassed to ask for help," a member tells #CostofLivingCrisis briefing. Staff are trained to spot warning signs of someone struggling - and reach out in a gentle way. Sobering data from @TrussellTrust but also many examples of what members are doing locally.
Are you seeing more working people using food banks - member asks @TrussellTrust in #CostofLivingCrisis briefing? Yes, anecdotally more working people and shown in need for increased opening times - and delivery slots - outside work hours.
"We hope to be out of business soon." Unusual start to a #CostOfLivingCrisis briefing. Members hearing from @TrussellTrust that its aim is to no longer be needed - and people can afford to feed themselves. Sobering stats for that to happen..
