Reading the Grenfell report last month, one of the most rotten things it revealed about the tragedy was the culture and attitude towards social housing tenants. In the years before the 2017 fire, the report says, many Grenfell residents saw their tenant management organisation (TMO) as “an uncaring and bullying overlord, which belittled and marginalised them, regarded them as a nuisance or worse, and simply failed to take their concerns seriously”. Seven years on, things haven’t changed.

In 2022 I was contacted by a friend of a friend – let’s call her Tiana – who was distraught. Her mum had become sick a few months earlier, so Tiana, who was her mum’s only child, had moved out of her own house and into her mum’s flat in Wandsworth, south London, to care for her. Then, in March 2022, her mum died suddenly. Before Tiana even had the chance to arrange her funeral, she received an eviction notice from Wandsworth council, giving her only a few days to move out.

I never planned to become a housing rights campaigner. I hoped to become an artist; I always loved to paint. But events put me on a different path. It feels as if I missed an exit on the motorway somewhere and now I can’t turn back. It started when we moved into a housing association flat on the Eastfields estate in Mitcham, south London, in 2018: my father, my two sisters, aged 17 and 20, and 19-year-old me.

One of the UK’s most high-profile social housing campaigners is in Scotland this week demanding more action to tackle poverty and slum living conditions. Making his first speaking appearance north of the border at the Share Annual Conference in Glasgow, Kwajo Tweneboa rose to prominence following the death of his father in a squalid and vermin-infested flat in the Eastfields estate in south London. It led the 25-year-old to expose the housing association on social media.
