Boss booked work #Christmas drinks & emailed the venue to ask about #wheelchair access. Then showed me their reply because I know my needs & capabilities better than anyone.
And that, ladies & gentlemen, is how you do #inclusion.

Yes this is so true and now DWP are demanding unpaid carers pay back money they say was overpaid to them. If you earn 10 pence more in one week than the 120 pound allowed you have to pay the whole weeks allowance back.

New video from @Access_Day! Founder, Paul Ralph, shares his vision for #AccessDay in 2019. Great to see the mobility vehicles in action at @edinburghcastle too! 👇

[Leeds Disabled People’s Organisation (LDPO) @Leeds_DPO]

Angered & concerned by findings from #UN, in relation to extreme levels of #poverty in #UK. Over 14 million people living in poverty, 1.5. million of those are completely destitute. Social isolation/loneliness have increased & affected by austerity measures. This needs to change.

#WednesdayWisdom:
Refusing to be #accessible because your building looks pretty without it is ableism.
Telling me to go elsewhere is ableism.
Installing facilities that require help, thus removing my independence is ableism.
Abusing facilities, even for 1 minute, is #ableism.

Came across this last night and really really proud of @leedscornex!

They also have lifts inside.

Definitely go check out their beautiful festive Christmas tree, and have a wander around the great collection of shops!

[Rushbond @RushbondPLC]

It’s here! New access ramp at @leedscornex. Improving access for all has been at the top of our ‘to do’ list, great to see the idea come to fruition. More to come!

An accessible toilet is #NotACupboard! It's almost #WorldToiletDay and this year we're highlighting the issue of accessible loos being used for storage. What strange things have you found stored in loos? Tell us using #NotACupboard 💬 🚽 https://t.co/XrRxnVYeef

Er? In the UK we're told an internal automatic ramp for trains isn't possible, yet here in Paris here they are.
This station is about to have it's platform lowered to allow the ramp to deploy too.
Proof commitment leads to action. Proves it can be done too.
