We have not been on social media as we have focused on delivering services, advocacy, advice & information on the ground as more families have reached out including other services asking for advice & assistance.

We have a great Summer TIMEOUT programme promising FUN!!

✉️ We’ve written an open letter to the Prime Minister.

The role of Disability Minister is no longer a dedicated role, and has been downgraded and merged with the role of a more junior minister.

The UK’s 16 million disabled people deserve better.

Learning Disability England's new #Accessible housing guide launches today.

Four staff from my son's "special school" restrained him face down on the floor till he couldn't breathe and he wet himself.

We campaign to uphold the rights of children like Calum from the misuse of restraint and seclusion.

"All of us are not focusing on disabled people enough. When any policy is made we should think first of disabled people. Not coming to it "at some point". Actually, if you get it right for disabled people, you get it right for everybody." @AndyBurnhamGM

6 in 10 of the people who died from Covid were disabled. Millions spent years shielding to protect themselves. Lessons must be learned from this.

As the UK Covid Inquiry begins, it’s vital that the experiences of disabled people are heard.

Striking new report from @Tog4ShortLives reveals children's hospice care could be at risk if @NHSEngland don't rethink their plans to end the Children's Hospice Grant next year.

🚨 The government is set to rewrite the benefits system. #Budget2023

But they’ve made many, many mistakes when they’ve tried to do this in the past.

They must now focus on building trust in a system that has failed disabled people for decades 🧵 1/8

To all the mothers, sisters, grandmothers, carers and anyone else who cares for and fights for a disabled child, we wish you a Happy International Women's Day!
