Well said Alicia! 👇

💬 "Until we start building and replacing the stock that needs to be there, there's always going to be this crisis." Alicia Walker from @Shelter explains how the housing emergency has led to a rise in rough sleeping. Watch the full session 👉 parliamentlive.tv/event/index/72…



This is finally it! The #RentersRightsBill is before parliament right now and it will pass. It’s a big win for renters but it could do more. Ask your MP to make the most of their big chance to sort private renting once and for all - it’s quick & easy ⬇️ campaigns.shelter.org.uk/send-postcard-…


Have you watched our @Shelter Christmas film yet? If not, please take a moment 👇

Love alone won’t protect a child from the harsh reality of homelessness this winter. Like Mia, over 150,000 children face spending Christmas in temporary accommodation. Often in damp, cramped and grim conditions. Donate now, help protect children: shltr.org.uk/SfvNl

Great to see traction on this campaign following reports in the press last week that reforms to the honours system are being considered by officials #ExcellenceNotEmpire independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

It’s an honour… or it should be.  We need an honours system that breaks from our colonial past.  One simple name change can make it the celebration of excellence we want it to be. Please support our campaign for an honours system we can all be proud of #ExcellenceNotEmpire

This US result makes UK civil society even more vital for the country’s future: speaking truth to power; predicting and demonstrating the impact of policy on fellow citizens; resisting division and polarisation locally, nationally, internationally; protecting tolerance and equity


Want to watch the always fab ⁦@KateLeeCEO⁩ and me talking system change with ⁦⁦@martyn_drake⁩ ? The video of our chat is now available 👇 youtu.be/jVgiILnPQ5A


You can join the campaign here: excellencenotempire.co.uk #ExcellenceNotEmpire

Great news if true that King is open to dropping “Empire” from honours system, to help create a system that all can be proud of. We ⁦@ExcellenceNotE1⁩ have been arguing this for some time. If you have an honour & you agree, now’s the time to join us! mol.im/a/14033883

This is deeply disappointing. The only moral way to reduce housing benefit costs over time is to build homes that people on low incomes can actually afford to rent. Until that happens, benefits are all that stand between thousands of people & homelessness bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


Signed👇. We are a large charity but this will impact us and I’m really concerned. For smaller charities this is a severe blow. Why can’t charities have the same treatment as the public sector?

Our estimates show planned increases to employer national insurance contributions will cost the charity sector £1.4bn a year. Many charities will be forced to make difficult decisions to shoulder this heavy burden. Together with @ACEVO, we’re calling on @hmtreasury to take…

When Margaret Thatcher became PM, I was 14. It made a huge impact. A woman PM felt revolutionary. This is similarly powerful because of the economic power and credibility men still hold and profit from 45 years later. Whatever your politics, it’s awesome when women break barriers

Today is the first time in our country’s history that a Budget will be delivered by a woman. For every young girl watching, let this be a sign that there should be no ceiling on your ambitions. x.com/hmtreasury/sta…



Thank you for listening! And to our supporters for helping us push for change to the Right to Buy - and indeed for investment in social homes. Campaigning works and we’re far from finished

Over 2 million social homes have been sold via #RightToBuy, with only 2% of these replaced. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our supporters who helped us make this point to government. #Budget2024



Well done and thank you to @Victoria_Spratt for nailing this response to the whole “are landlords working people?” debate.

Are people who receive income from owning property “working people”? This week’s newsletter unpacks it @theipaper inews.co.uk/news/starmer-p…

Wow I’m losing followers on here fast! Anyone else in civil society the same? I’m tweeting way less, and my tweets are much more bland, but also I wonder if it’s people leaving the platform. Which I contemplate doing myself. Open to the idea people just don’t like me obvs 😉


Excited about this new direction on investment in social homes? You should be. Many will escape homelessness in the (near) future due to this brave move by @AngelaRayner @RachelReevesMP Please, in 5 years, we must see this as the *start* of a building revolution. My quote below

I’ve been wanting to get down to this climb before the weather makes the descent impossible. A special day yesterday. No pushing grades just enjoying autumn sun on what has to be the best value easy climb on Portland. Late October doesn’t owe you this so it feels extra special

'The vast majority of this funding needs to be focused on social rent.' Cutting back right to buy and funding boosts for home building are welcome steps, BUT social housing must be central to Labour's housing plans says @Shelter's @pollyn1 the-independent.com/news/uk/rachel…
