Lots of community projects took place during 2022 with funding support & help. From underpasses in Kesgrave, rewilding in Rushmere, Christmas Day meals, DAS partnership, Jubilee fun & Indian Mela to name just a few. Here's to a great 2023 & thanks to all involved. Happy New Year!

Crucial session for @CommonsWorkPen inquiry into disability benefit assessments next week as the Minister gives evidence. With DWP now losing or conceding over 80% of appeals against its decisions, we hope she will accept change must go much further than last year's Green Paper

My Westminster Hall debate on Disability Benefits Assessments is at 14:30 this afternoon. The harrowing effects of the DWP’s hostile approach to social security for disabled people are an issue I have raised many times. We need urgent action.

The 26 year old healthy daughter of one of our members, who caught Alpha variant in February and was very ill, was subsequently fully vaccinated, has now caught Delta (confirmed) and is again very ill at home. Please please take precautions not to catch Covid or give it to others

No child should have to feel anxious about how their parents will make ends meet. We're part of this coalition of 100 organisations calling on the Prime Minister not to cut #UniversalCredit by £20 a week and to #KeepTheLifeline. bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-5818…

There are some things in life you just don’t do by half.
Men aged 20-49 in Suffolk are less likely to get their 2nd jab. Getting one Covid jab means you’re not fully protected. One jab is half a job.
Book your vaccination nhs.uk
Jab. Test. Protect the rest.

Cllr. Caroline Page represents Woodbridge. We asked why she became a councillor - "I wanted women like me - single parents, carers, those dealing daily with disability, reliant on public transport, trying to square impossible circles - to have a voice." #YourSuffolkCouncil

Another terrible story in what has been a powerful series of public service broadcasting. The deregulation of social housing post-2010 has had devastating consequences for the quality of services many tenants get. Time to put them on these orgs' Boards + for Regulator to step up

It has been six months since Maggie Keenan was the first person in the world to receive the approved COVID vaccine at @nhsuhcw.
Since then, the #NHSCOVIDVaccine rollout has gone from strength to strength. Thank you to everyone involved for your life-saving work. 💙
