We shouldn't need to wear protective clothing to stay warm, dry and healthy in our own home.

But since 1 in 4 of us in the UK are living in homes with issues like damp, cold and mould – it's an absurd solution for a very real problem.

Growing up into a healthy, thriving adult is a lot harder when our childhood homes make us ill.

Millions of us in the UK are living with issues like damp, mould and cold. The health impacts can be huge, especially for children.

You shouldn't need a hazmat suit to relax and unwind in your home.

But when we are living with damp, cold and mould, our homes become a hindrance to our health and wellbeing.

Families on lower incomes are almost twice as likely to have to deal with damp or mould & 4 times as likely to live in homes that are too cold.

We're backing the new campaign from @healthequals.bsky.social exposing the impact of unsafe homes.

1 in 4 older private renters live in homes with issues like damp, cold or mould.

We’re joining @healthequals.bsky.social in calling for the urgent action to ensure all private renters live in healthy homes.

Yesterday, we took to Central London to bring our new campaign — Hazmat Loungewear — to life.

Our goal? To spark conversation and raise awareness that no one should have to protect themselves from the very place meant to keep them safe. 👇

To improve the health & wellbeing of EVERYone - regardless of how much money they have - health must be considered in EVERY decision, by EVERY Government department.

1 in 4 of us in the UK live in homes that are bad for our health.

Awaab’s Law, introduced this week, is a key milestone in addressing this.

But it needs to go further - private renters deserve healthy homes too.

Here's the change we want to see. 👉️ https://bit.ly/4qTD6ez

🏠 Findings from @healthequals.bsky.social show that more than 1 in 4 people in the UK live in homes with damp, mould or cold, putting their health at risk. In rural areas, older housing, higher fuel costs and off-grid homes make things worse.

Today, Awaab's law came into force.

The new legislation is a step in the right direction in protecting people from living in unhealthy homes.

However, we need to make sure that ALL homes are safe, affordable, accessible, not overcrowded, ventilated & of high quality.
Our data released today has found that 15 million people in the UK live with damp, mould and cold in their homes. 🔴

No one should have to live in a home that damages their health.

We're proud to @healthequals.bsky.social #MakeHealthEqual campaign: health inequalities are a huge driver of homelessness and homelessness can be hugely detrimental to health.

We'll be exploring these issues at our upcoming Health and Homelessness conference 👇

Ever seen this message: Insufficient funds?⛔

You’ll know that doing the basics, such as filling the fridge and topping up the gas, isn't always possible.

To #MakeHealthEqual, we need more money in our pockets – so everyone can access the building blocks of health. 👉https://bit.ly/3W7Ln0h
