May is Neurofibromatosis (NF) Awareness Month.

Chloe, a member of CYA, has Neurofibromatosis Type One (NF) and her hope is that more people will know what NF is and so, each week, we'll be sharing some facts about the condition.

It’s been a long day but great to have been invited by @Ofcom and CYA to look at online regulation and protection for disabled people online.

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

A disproportionate number of Disabled people in the UK are in poverty, unable to afford food or heating.

The UN challenge the UK government on why Disabled people are the worst impacted by budget cuts and austerity #CRDP24

Today is #IWD and the theme this year is #Inspirelnclusion. Inclusion is one of CYA’s main priorities as so many of our team have been excluded. We have been posting over on Facebook today about what our women of CYA are passionate about

Happy Christmas to all of our friends over here on X/Twitter (we can’t get used to “X” - anyone else feel the same? 😀) we’re sending our positivity and joy to you all. We understand that Xmas isn’t easy for everyone, always reach out to those around you. 💛 #cya #activists

Today, December 3rd, is International Day of People with Disabilities!

Today is about celebrating people with disabilities, learning about their experiences, optimism for a world where someone isn’t characterised by just their disability.

We spoke with @mencap_charity Community Activism Coach last week. They shared details of this campaign. Please have a read to see why they are asking @RishiSunak to change the outdated #MentalHealthAct . You can also take action with them #TimeToAct #LearningDisability

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

The government must change the #MentalHealthAct so people with a #LearningDisability and autistic people are not wrongfully locked up in secure hospitals that can't support their needs.

Tell @RishiSunak it's #TimeToAct.
