Reflecting on a big year at Citizens UK, one of our top highlights has been working on the Cable Street affordable housing development. We’re so grateful for the countless community champions who have led this work 🙌 @LondonCLT

Huge congratulations to the organised leaders across @CitizensUK for championing many of these changes. The new Homelessness Strategy is promising, now let's move to put it in action!
12 Dec 2025
We're pleased that the government’s Homelessness Strategy builds on the Child Poverty Strategy’s commitments to improve the lives of families in temporary accommodation.
These steps reflect recommendations from our report, ‘A long way from home’, published in May 2025. 🧵

More blood donors needed all round but partic those who can match antigen combinations for better treatment, such as the pathologies of haemoglobin. (Quirks of our ancestral genes) @TowerHamletsNow @THCitizens @rushanaraali @ApsanaBegumMP @GiveBloodNHS @wesstreeting

Sickle cell is a genetic condition that causes extreme pain and complications. Blood transfusions help manage symptoms, but patients need closely matched blood.
We need more donors of Black heritage to help patients with sickle cell. ow.ly/RgNk50Wc7UI

Good to meet with members of the East London chapter of Citizens UK.
We discussed our shared priorities, including social housing, tackling antisocial behaviour and supporting young people. I am hugely grateful to Citizens UK for their vital work in our community.
