No child should be held back by hunger Helen Barnard, director of policy, research and impact at Trussell highlights that 130,000 emergency food parcels were provided to families with children across Yorkshire in the past year

Thanks to @yorkshirepost.co.uk for publishing my article with @trusselluk.bsky.social's new stats. No child should be held back by hunger, but too many grow up in severe hardship, blighting childhoods & with long term impacts on prospects in adulthood. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion...

NEW ANALYSIS: One in five of people facing homelessness in England now have a disability or physical ill health. In 2019, it was one in eight households.

A scatter graph that shows children born in local authorities with the highest child poverty rates are expected to live less than those born in areas with the lowest rates. This graph specifically shows male life expectancy from birth and uses data from Loughborough University's child poverty rate estimates, and ONS life expectancy stats.

Children born in local authorities with the highest poverty rates are expected to live 5 years less than those born in areas with the lowest rates.

Being born into poverty could take years off your life.

Joy is my favorite weapon.

More tenants could be excluded from Right to Buy, Rayner proposes The government wants to address the loss of social housing, but critics say more action is needed.

I write Awaab Ishak’s name a fair amount, due to talking about legislation and key events in the sector. Had a pause today while writing it to remember that he was a boy, a very young boy, who died as a direct result of the conditions of his home. We should remember him in how we act, law or no law.

Hello you! 🥰

This place already feels like a little slice of happiness in comparison to X! If heaven and hell were portrayed as social media platforms…
