Children growing up in poverty are 4 times more likely to struggle with mental health issues by the time they're 11, compared to kids from wealthier families. That's why we're supporting Centre for Mental Health's #FutureMindsCampaign calling for scalable action. 👇 brnw.ch/21wQuqS

People won’t ‘get well soon’ without decent sick pay. 💸 That’s why we’re supporting @prog_change's campaign to raise the rate of Statutory Sick Pay, so everyone can afford to take time off to recover from injury or illness. Support #SafeSickPay. 👉 brnw.ch/21wQxeJ

Together, we can rewrite their story. 🙌 Louis & Lorcan have so much in common – except the same life expectancy. Because of things like income, housing, and air quality, where you’re born could cut your life short by 16 years. It’s time for change. 👉 bit.ly/3Cx3pm9
