Here's proof that tactile keyboard stickers don't have to be pre-made or expensive. I just cut up a small, foam star and stuck the different shapes to the keyboard to make keys easier to find. @info_nutz says hers are useful already! For a campaign group secretary that's huge!

CAMPAIGN UPDATE: The Government has announced that there will be a funding plan by Autumn 2021 for installing tactile at stations where it's missing.

Whilst we are glad to see progress, completing tactile installation by 2029 is still not soon enough. https://t.co/KvsbxOLPEx

Big news - people on legacy benefits, the majority of whom are disabled and who have been unjustly excluded from the vital £20 increase made to #UniversalCredit, now have court permission to challenge this discrimination.
