Such a nice touch from @ParalympicsGB
Athletes are now presented with these tokens, one for each @Paralympics you’ve been to.
This will be my 5th Games and each one is special.
Once a Paralympian, always a Paralympian.

Have you, or someone you know competed for Great Britain in a Summer or Winter Paralympic Games?
We have launched our Athlete Community to unite the generations, from Rome 1960 to Paris 2024 and beyond.
Because once a Paralympian, always a Paralympian.
#WeAreParalympicsGB
The best part of my job is the chats with Paralympians, getting to know them & identifying what a successful community looks like for them. We've laid foundations that work for Paralympians whether you competed in 1960 or 2020.
Once a Paralympian, Always a Paralympian
To celebrate the launch of our ParalympicsGB Athlete Community, we brought together Paralympians from every decade to share their unique stories of The Games.
ParalympicsGB and 56 partner organisations across the UK’s sport and activity community have come together to urge the UK Government to reconsider its decision to remove the role of a dedicated minister of state for disabled people in an open letter to Prime Minister @RishiSunak.
"I really believe that we need a film that talks about ableism head-on..."
Ahead of her new documentary airing @josierones shares why tackling discrimination against disabled people in society is so important.
To celebrate Pride in London today we popped round to @itslaurenrowles and @jude__hamer’s to talk growing up, coming out, tying the knot and being visible in sport.

@daisthehale Hey! I was the Access manager for Galwad (with the ace @kaiteoreilly ) which was trilingual (eng/Welsh/BSL) and we worked with some bril interps and created a scripting formula for when not everyone was fluent in every language being used. Happy to chat if you need! x
@GALWAD22 There's an interesting section on the scripting process for trilingual work including BSL, Welsh & English. We struggled to find an existing process that did everything it needed to, so with support from Deaf consultants we made one that supported both written & visual language
.@GALWAD22 I completed a case study with a lens on access & how we embedded into our processes & content. It couldn't cover everything, but hopefully it provides learning on areas where we faced challenges and where sometimes innovation looks like anti-slip rubber matting

#GALWAD was a true collective act of imagination from contemporary Wales.
Explore behind the scenes of how this multi-lingual, multi-platform project was made by hundreds of Welsh artists and creatives.

Brilliant thread on the #ChildrenInNeed issue by @Nina__Tame I wrote about this here too: https://t.co/Fnp5GaAV9M as a disabled led org we’ve never applied to @BBCCiN because of how the money is raised, disabled kids deserve to see themselves on TV as more than just cash magnets
