If these intense, repeated heatwaves become more common as we see more climate change, then we’re going to need government support to improve our buildings further, install more aircon and help to cover the increased costs of keeping our homes cool in the summer. #heatwave
🚨The PM is chairing an emergency Cobra meeting today over extreme heat, wildfires and drought. The Met Office says this could be the UK's hottest summer on record.
Nearly 2,900 people have already died from heat this year in May and June alone, almost double the number for the whole of last summer.
The same homes that are too cold and dangerous in winter are now too hot and dangerous in summer. The Climate Change Committee says 92% of homes could overheat, and the poorest areas are seven times more at risk than the rest.
This is costing the NHS £2.5 billion a year and it's costing lives. We need home upgrades, a proper heat strategy, and a permanent social tariff so nobody has to choose between paying the bills and staying safe.

Yesterday we celebrated our wonderful nurse Val on her retirement.
After 25 incredible years working at Palms Row, she’s been such an important part of the team and will be truly missed. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter, Val, you’ve earned it. 💐

Our residents got into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit with a fun hat-making session! 🍀🎩 From bright greens to lucky shamrocks, creativity was in full swing and smiles were everywhere. A wonderful way to celebrate together and share a bit of Irish cheer! 💚
Our residents have been getting into the Easter spirit this week with a lovely afternoon of painting Easter rabbit egg cups! 🥚💛
There was plenty of creativity on display and each egg cup is as unique as the person who painted it.
