@TommyShakes Sad thing about my boy - he’s never really understood frisky. A bit like his owner.

And is your little one as useful as my little one? He certainly looks like he’s having more fun!

[Jazz @JazzShaban]

Sounds familiar 🙄

It’s been 3 days since I’ve been deprived of my right to eat, sleep and bathe because @British_Airways have failed to deliver my toilet wheelchair and essential medications. Do I need to lay in a hospital bed for action to be taken?

As a kid I was terrified of dogs. Not anymore… obviously https://t.co/c7cic3xVyL

Its International Assistance Dog Week? Really?! Well, if you have one you'll know why they're important to celebrate. The world takes on a different shape with them. @JazzShaban can't live without hers! Look out for our assistance dogs blogs this week on SVP.

@SmallVoicePro Trying to navigate a supermarket with an ill fitting, wheelchair accessible (not) shopping trolley; knocking over a stack of 24 books on my bedside table every time I turn off the light; and have no idea what’s going on outside the borders of where I live. 👍 to progress!

Happy World Wide Web Day! Where would we be now without it? Is the world a better place for it? Without it we wouldn't be talking here. What would you do without the #WorldWideWeb? Let us know your thoughts...

Well what a shambles @DrLisaCameronMP your @APPGdisability @FCDOInclusive event not quite so inclusive after all. Invited @bondngo disabled members from the South kicked off the speaking panel because no AV booked. Surely not! @DisRightsUK @IDA_CRPD_Forum @iddcconsortium

@SmallVoicePro @iddcconsortium An absolute first for IDDC OPD task group! Chosen Power the name of Hong Kong’s People First org. Loved this presentation and the work that they did City University where I did my Masters 😎

Sadly for me, but possibly not for colleagues 🤣today’s @bondngo Disability & Development Group meeting was my last as Co-Chair. I have worked with some truly amazing people these past 6yrs. Big shout out to fellow Co-chairs Lauren @ablechildafrica @MarkBarrell68 @SmallVoicePro

“Wisdom cries allowed in the streets, in the marketplace she raises her voice” Prov 1: 20. It is easy to think we are wise sitting at home, but what about out there? Where is wisdom in our social justice system? I think we can learn much from the ancient world about wisdom today?

So I have set up a new venture inclusive storytelling platform called @SmallVoicePro If you’ve not checked it out - do it now https://t.co/CRaghmjhDs or read the headlines in our 1st edition SVPs e-News. It’s only by doing it differently that we’ll see change. #BeHeardTakeAction
