Did you see us on @itvanglia last night. A little snapshot into how we have been supporting those in need in #Peterborough over the past few months

A huge thanks to @TNLComFund. We couldn't do it without your support

Absolutely love this film from @adultcphub

Never let anyone tell you that you can't do something

Find a way to do it your way and you will succeed

[St George's Hydrotherapy Users @pbhydro_users]

Today is #WorldCerebralPalsyDay.

Some of our #hydrotherapy users have #CP, which comes in many forms 👇 The buoyancy of the warm water is a great way to exercise in a safe way, relax tense muscles and gain pain relief. It's also good fun!

Tomorrow is World Cerebral Palsy Day!

Cerebral palsy is a lifelong disability affecting around 17 million people throughout the world.

Our online community are discussing what #WorldCPDay is, and how they're getting involved 👇 #CPMakeYourMark

Thank you so much to @TNLComFund. Without your support, this would not have been possible.

Let's hope that we can continue the service and carry on supporting those in our local community that need it 👍

@GoldhayArts92 @NicolaGShine @Disability_DP We thought you might appreciate this too!

Today is #WorldHeartDay2020 @worldheartfed

Cardiovascular Disease (#CVD) is the world's biggest killer:

▪️ 17.9m CVD deaths per year
▪️ 1:10 30-70 year olds die from CVD
▪️ 31% of all deaths are from CVD

Keeping as active as possible can help your heart ❤️

A new report shows that there is only 1⃣ council-owned accessible parking bay for every 3⃣8⃣ blue badge holders - https://t.co/PLcJpkNbZy. Concerning information for all those who rely on these to get out and live independent lives.

[St George's Hydrotherapy Users @pbhydro_users]

Here's a super story from @Disability_DP about the valuable benefits its #handyman service is delivering to #disabled and older people around the city - https://t.co/whbjaIZ9wb

It also features a wonderful lady who has done so much for St George's #Hydrotherapy Pool. 😊

[Loocations UK @LoocationsUK]

Public toilets are a service that for years have been ignored. They are absolutely critical to many.

Our map on https://t.co/iuzvEWosHN is still used tens of thousands of times a day, which shows how important they are. 🚽

A huge thanks to @TNLComFund for supporting this scheme

"The Sunflower Lanyard is a lifeline to those with a hidden disability. Yet some have decided to use this lanyard as a loophole to avoid wearing a facemask. This mockery is deeply upsetting."

@emma_lockhart01 on hidden disabilities during Covid-19.

Thank you @Queensgate_PB for supporting us!

If you see a member of the public wearing a sunflower lanyard, please understand anyone wearing one may need additional support, time or assistance 🌻
