Projections published in @theguardian.com, from analysis by @sheltercharity.bsky.social, has revealed that 206,000 children will be living in temporary accommodation by 2029 – a 26% increase in just five years.

This is a massive mistake that will only increase harm in a city that is already reeling from severe substance use and associated social issues of dependency such as rough sleeping. t.co/ayTLmsj3PV

Delighted to be here at the first Cranstoun Domestic Abuse conference. Here's a short vid explaining the purpose of this day and we'll be posting some content from the Cranstoun acct. P.S. This is my 1st BlueSky post so give me a follow if you're interested in domestic abuse and social justice.

Interesting and detailed coverage on the UK’s first overdose prevention centre in Glasgow. Pointedly, the overdoses reversed during this visit were reversed by professionals. Without this centre, these people may have died. Time for more opc’s to be trialled elsewhere in the UK t.co/VQy1JZHHf2

Really enjoyed watching the @dsmfoundation.bsky.social touring drug education play + workshop in a Ldn school today. The story was incredibly moving and I was taken aback by how engaged the year 10s were throughout. Well done to all involved, a brilliant approach to educating yps on drug harm.

It is shocking to see rough sleeping rise by a fifth over 12 months in England, with 4,667 people recorded as sleeping on the streets on a single night in Autumn. This represents a near-record high and figures have risen for the third consecutive year.

Fantastic to be at the @crisis_uk homeless summit at church house in Westminster today. I’m here all day on behalf of @Cranstoun_org, come say hi if you’d like to chat about housing first, supported housing and anything homelessness related!

First part of David Gauke’s sentencing review is live. Good to see the acknowledgement of suspended and community sentences being more effective in cutting reoffending than short term prison sentences, as highlighted in the @cranstoun.org submission. www.thetimes.com/article/c24b...

1/2. Great discussion in parliament on the recently opened OPC. It will take time to prove its efficacy but we have the global evidence which should give parliamentarians comfort to not wait four years for other sites. t.co/10ys7MrFUG

Brilliant to see such a packed room for the brilliant Professor Sir @MichaelMarmot at the APPG on Drugs, Alcohol and Justice. Fascinating insights into health inequalities, deprivation and austerity on substance related harm.
