Resources relating to Inequality

Cold, damp and mouldy homes have serious health consequences for millions of people across the UK today

Our population is ageing. Over the next quarter of a century, the number of people aged 55 and over in England will grow by five million.

This free benchmarking tool provides a snapshot of key data available at the local authority level to help local councils and organisations in England better understand their ageing population.

This report, commissioned by the Centre for Ageing Better and delivered by the Race Equality Foundation, explores the specific housing and home improvement needs and barriers experienced by racially minoritised communities in England.

In this third spotlight by Ageing Better, Runnymede Trust, Race Equality Foundation and People’s Health Trust, we look at the disproportionate impact of poor-quality homes on people from Black and minority ethnic communities.

This report highlights the available evidence around how older people often have unequal access to local businesses and community settings.

At the Centre for Ageing Better we believe that in order to reduce the number of unsafe homes across England, we need improve the local offer in accessing support for people to improve their homes.
