Leading charities call on political leaders to turn the tide for the most excluded in our society.

Around 60,000 adults facing multiple needs and exclusions are being let down by services, living chaotic lives and facing premature death because as a society we fail to understand and coordinate the support they need, say leading charities.

Revolving Doors Agency and the Making Every Adult Matter (MEAM) coalition – formed of Clinks, DrugScope, Homeless Link and Mind – are today launching a vision paper entitled Turning the Tide: A Vision Paper for multiple needs and exclusions setting out how the situation, and its huge social and financial costs, can be addressed and urging political leaders from all parties to take action.
