But children across the UK are growing up with damp, cold and mould in their homes — putting their health on the line.
They shouldn’t need a hazmat suit to stay healthy at home. Help us call for real solutions. 👉https://bit.ly/4nHViVo

The #NHS10YearPlan sets out a clear ambition: to build a healthcare system fit for the future, shifting care from hospitals to communities, from analogue to digital, and to strengthen quality, safety, and equity for all. Delivering that vision will also depend on how people experience care.
