It's great that @age_uk has featured our @bureaulocal #DisablingHomes ♿ data in one of its latest reports on home adaptations. Once the story's out, the impact continues and I love being part of that process... read more about it here: https://t.co/wep2jgpPEt
Really pleased that @camdenDisAction featured our #DisablingHomes findings in their latest feature on home adaptations as part of a community reporting project. Let's keep the conversation going! https://t.co/53Z5gXvbrb
Our @Channel4News film on #DisablingHomes wouldn't have captured viewers' hearts the way it did without Reuben's rapport with those in the report. Well deserved!! 💯 Watch him in action here - https://t.co/ehvjiP3XGk
So delighted to announce Reuben Reuter has taken the trophy for Journalism of the Year at the #SenseAwards 📰
Reuben was nominated for his compassionate, thoughtful and insightful reporting on disability for @Channel4News, among many other achievements 💜 🧡
After waiting so long for action, an FOI from DNS has exposed that all three consultations have been scrapped. This is such a kick in the teeth for disabled people/families who the DFG system doesn't serve well enough. #DisablingHomes https://t.co/4bezW3C6P3 via @johnpringdns
Centralising and championing the voice of the person amidst #housingadaptations and #DFGassessment @vi_gayle #DisablingHomes #personcentred #DFGAssessmentSummit @FoundationsHIA
The room is full for Foundations DFG Assessment Summit so lots of people to hear about the lived experience of some of those we featured in #DisablingHomes and the impact that assessment delays have on disabled children and adults needing home adaptations
Faith, 21: "I’m using a commode in my bedroom because it’s the only place I have a hoist... I’m basically washing out the sink because I can’t get into the shower."
Thanks @IsabellaMcrae for using our #DisablingHomes data and covering Faith's story.

Such an important investigation on #DisablingHomes & #DFGs by @bureaulocal earlier in the year👇
TBIJ have continued their great work w a recent investigation highlighting the links between housing, disablement & impoverishment caused by corporate greed: https://t.co/6OH4JkS2xs
Some of the families from #DisablingHomes are still fundraising for adaptations, but we've pushed hard for this project to spark change from the ground up AND top down. We caught up with Lauren, Peter, Finlay's mum Alexa and Derek to find out what's changed for them6⃣months on...

Earlier this year, we told you about Peter Gilroy’s fight for a vital home adaptation – he needed a new kitchen so he could use his oven without first removing his prosthetic leg.
As a result of our story, Peter can now resume his love for baking pies 🥧
Finlay's family still has a huge £70,000 to raise for home adaptations. He recently featured in @BeccaBarry's report on the shortage of accessible housing across England, and we look forward to catching up with his mum Alexa tomorrow.

"One person has already made a £1,000 donation and another has offered to do electrical work for free." #DisablingHomes @advertisergroup https://t.co/8Q47Jg7hkt
.@Rushcliffe Council says its funding for Disabled Facilities Grants is considerably lower than neighbouring councils, meaning it could struggle to afford home adaptations, @journoanna_ reports.
Funding is sent by the Govt to @NottsCC which then shares the cash. #DisablingHomes
WATCH: Life in the McGowan house has been transformed because of a Disabled Facilities Grant. Their adapted garden now has space for 18-year-old Charlie’s equipment and their bathroom has been relocated. #DisablingHomes #AutismAwareness
We know from our #DisablingHomes investigation that @WestNorthants council is using its discretionary powers to top-up the mandatory DFG amount for applicants by up to £15,000. We hope the family knows about this helpful financial support.

The cost of the build is likely to be in excess of £45,000, according to this report from the @ChronandEcho/ @MeganHillery. #DisablingHomes

#DisablingHomes
#disablinghomes Being extremely messed about by ForHousing adaptions policies+manager's gross error. Doctor requested temporary housing, blame put on me again😂conflicting/rude remarks: will continue to help, now WON'T do my adaptions at any other property/been 'generous' to me😂
#disablinghomes ForHousing now saying they WONT do my adaptions inANY other property yet I clearly said+my doctor wrote "temporary accommodation"? Have had to move 3 times for my adaptions so far due to their policies? & current carehome NOT what I wanted?
