People’s Health Trust has campaigned hard for change over many months for the reinstatement of the Winter Fuel Payment, working alongside our Network of community organisations, who support tens of thousands of the most disadvantaged older people across Great Britain.

We welcome the announcement by the Chancellor that the eligibility for the Winter Fuel Payment will be reinstated to around three quarters of older people, particularly the 2.5 million vulnerable pensioners who narrowly missed out on qualifying. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Depending on which region of the UK they live, as many as 1 in 5 young people (Wales, London, West Midlands) are unemployed. In the North West, 40% of unemployed people are age 16-24 Our new programme aims to break the cycle of mental health problems and youth unemployment

Through our work at People’s Health Trust, we’ve seen many ways to narrow the life expectancy gap through work that addresses the underlying causes of health inequalities, such as better paid secure work, homes that are safe and affordable, and access to quality food that people can afford.

Good to see both NHS England and DHSC confirm that prevention will be a focus of forthcoming 10-year health plan This will be crucial if falling life expectancy is to be reversed, as stated in our @peopleshealthtrust.bsky.social evidence submission

Older people ask how to “survive winter” following “catastrophic” winter fuel payment changes That’s what we heard again and again from dozens of People’s Health Trust funded partners and older people they work with last month, as set out in our report: www.peopleshealthtrust.org.uk/news/press-r...
