Living in cold, damp homes affects the physical and mental health of those living in them particularly children and adolescents. Advisors can do home visits to offer advice and link people to funding. Georgie introduced exercises on heat loss, condensation and which household appliances cost the most to run which those present enjoyed participating in and we all learned something. Copies of these exercises are attached with the minutes. Yennie TLC Hub – Evelyn Glass had hoped to attend today to give an update on the TLC Hub but was unable to attend so Yennie gave an update. The Hub will be based in the Salvation Army Hall which has been very kindly provided free of charge for 3 years and will be a supportive space for people living with life-long conditions. A steering group has been set up to take things forward and set up governance systems, this is very well supported locally and will be a great resource for people, if things go well it may be able to open in the spring. There was a suggestion that there may be a need for a lymphedema clinic within the Hub and this generated discussion on local cancer rates, Angela wondered if there were any surveys looking at this or if MacMillan ever looked at it? Yennie thought one of the NHS Data Analysts may have some data on this.
