Community groups have been on the frontline of the pandemic. We know mental health issues are on the rise. We need more funding, more access to services and community groups need to be supported in the vital work they do. @AccessDorsetUK @HealthLottery

The Covid crisis has been marked by rising wealth, and widening wealth gaps. The gap between the average and the wealthiest 10 per cent of households has increased by £44,000 during the crisis (following a £350,000 increase between 2006-08 and 2016-18). resolutionfoundation.org/pub…

This week @HealthFdn revealed adults in England’s poorest areas were almost four times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those in the wealthiest areas. Removing £20 uplift to Universal Credit will only worsen health inequalities #keepthelifeline

Social isolation can lead to an early death. In communities experiencing high levels of disadvantage that are already facing health inequalities, forming social connections can help boost health and establish vital support bubbles #PeopleMakeChange
Our Doncaster @Peoples_health project enjoyed the sunshine! Great to get our older community out building their confidence in fresh air, enjoying the company & conversation of others. We love this project! We are currently fundraising together for a community defibillator!

#HRC47 Afg in a statement on State response to pandemic: #COVID-19 has globally aggravated #inequalities, by impacting people on the margins. Vaccines are the newest frontier in the struggle for #equality. The government of 🇦🇫 calls for vaccine to be a global #publicgood!
