Change doesn’t always rise in concrete towers. Sometimes it grows in kitchen tiles, raised roofs, and hands rebuilding what history denied. Urabá is reminding us: housing is not a product, it’s a right, a memory, a future.

28 months of living with black mould, sick kids, and humiliation while Slough Council shuffled papers and “investigated.” 🤢

A child bullied because their clothes smelled of damp, and still no urgency? Unacceptable. Awaab’s Law exists to stop this.

Absolutely outrageous. A single mum with medical proof that damp and mould are wrecking her lungs told to just “ventilate better” and move back in?! 🤬

Holly deserves a safe home, not gaslighting from a housing association hiding behind “humidity levels.”
