The Railway Road project in Wigan provides accommodation and support for men who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We produced a short video speaking to some of the people supported by the service: https://lnkd.in/etwBcDfQ Support at Railway Road is tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers. Our support workers help with applications for housing, health care, dental care, drug and alcohol services, as well as offering crucial emotional support. As staff and customers say in the video, the housing crisis is their biggest challenge at the moment. The turnover of social housing is so low, and there simply aren't enough one-beds. This forces us to look at the Private Rented Sector, which is often unaffordable. Research we commissioned last year alongside the National Housing Federation and other providers showed that 56% of those in transitional supported housing were ready to move on. However, in 53% of those cases this was not possible as they had not been able to find a suitable move-on option. As the National Housing Federation have repeatedly called for, we need a long-term plan for housing to build 90,000 social homes a year for a decade. We also need to boost and ring-fence funding for essential services like Railway Road. Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/etwBcDfQ Wigan Council Homeless Link Crisis

Transport is critical to have healthy outcomes for individuals and communities. Bespoke programs help break barriers
Take a look at this powerful video about the Upper Yarra Valley Flexible Transport Trial with EV Community Transport and supported by the Department of Transport and Planning Victoria. It will give you a great sense of the transport challenges and needs of the Upper Yarra and also why people have volunteered to be part of the trial. Thank you to everyone who participated in this video - Marnie O'Loughlin, Peter, Michelle Hockley, Robin, Alice and Matilda (in order of appearance). If you are a service provider and know of an Upper Yarra resident who needs transport or someone who is interested in volunteering please get in touch by calling 03 9870 7822 or email [email protected].

I found this interesting. The shade giving tree is planted on the private property side of the fence, but the shade is also enjoyed by the pedestrians. I was walking down this pavement yesterday during the height of the heatwave, and this patch of the pavement felt considerably cooler and was such a relief. Too bad that the pavement was too narrow and could not accommodate a bench to sit and get a bit of a respite. Also, there was only one such shade giving tree planted on the private side of the fence. Wish there were many more which would have been such a relief for pedestrians. How can we make this into incentive compatible/ public spirited public-private partnerships so that we can scale such arrangements? I think such an approach could be promising for pavements in cities where there may not be enough public space for shade giving tree plantation.

🚦 🏫 🎒 Learn how Lima's #StreetsforKids Moquewawa Street project has significantly increased the safety and comfort of children, their caregivers, and the broader community. The Municipality of Lima 🇵🇪 worked hard to transform a busy and unsafe 5-street intersection where vehicles dominated the streets and a lack of traffic lights made it dangerous for children and their caregivers to get to nearby Andres Rosales Valencia school. Completed in 2023, today, the intersection and surrounding area is much safer, more attractive, and accommodates a more balanced mix of users: 🚸 🚗 There was a 42% reduction in vehicles exceeding speed limits and a 47% reduction in conflict points between vehicles and pedestrians. ⬆️ Caregivers reported a huge 107% increase in feeling safe compared to before the project was implemented. 🧒🏽 👦🏽 Students and residents are now enjoying the 850 m2 public space reclaimed for pedestrians. Many thanks to the Municipalidad de Lima for creating safe streets for children, and FIA Foundation Van Leer Foundation Fondation Botnar for their support. #safespeeds #schoolstreets #roadsafety

Liveable Cities Expert | Sustainable Mobility Enthusiast | Remarkable Woman in Transport 2023 | Young Leader in Sustainable Transport 2020 | TEDX speaker 2019. I believe in humanity and being a changemaker.
In 2020, the UN Assembly declared 2021-2030 The Global Decade of Action for Road Safety and identified five pillars of actions under the Safe Systems Approach. Post-crash care was identified as one of these pillars that would ensure preservation of life, reduction of loss and injuries and lessening the financial burden caused by road crashes. Globally, most road safety interventions still put cyclists in the back burner.The safety of cyclists is the last to be discussed (if we are lucky). We believe it is necessary for all our marshals to have First Aid training because they can be the first responders during emergencies and help save a life and reduce injuries. By administering emergency care, we can safe lives, reduce injuries, pain and financial burden from health or loss of income. We hope to help whenever needed, in any emergency and not just during cycling emergencies. Let's be prepared. An emergency can happen anytime and anywhere. . #roadsafety #firstaid #safesystemsapproach
