As the weather gets cooler, damp and mould become more and more prevalent as warm air from daily life, such as cooking, washing and breathing, meets cold air forming condensation. With less air flow due to closed windows to keep warm, moisture becomes trapped inside, worsening these issues.

Lots of us will be preparing to host family or visit the homes of loved ones for the festive season. But millions of us live with issues like damp, mould and cold – and it doesn’t go away for Christmas. We took to the streets with Kwajo Tweneboa to see what Londoners think needs to change. 👇️

If you are on a lower income, you’re more likely to have issues like damp, mould and cold in your home. Hazmat loungewear is not a real solution to this problem. Explore what we're calling for to #MakeHealthEqual. 👉️https://bit.ly/4nHViVo
