Congrats to our Chair, @jwindsorclive, for crossing the Channel for Aspire, who support people with spinal cord injuries 👏🏻

[James Windsor-Clive @jwindsorclive]

At 23:48 on Tuesday, we made land in France 🇫🇷 after 13 hours and 58 minutes.

It was an incredible experience that even the copious amount of 🪼 could not ruin!

Thanks to everyone who supported and donated. 🙏🏻

[The Conservative Disability Group @The_C_D_G]

Our Chair @jwindsorclive caught up with @mimsdavies, who was Disability Minister.

They discussed some of our success stories in the last government:

📈 Record disability employment
👩🏻‍💻 Expansion of Access to Work
🧑‍🦽‍➡️ Disability Confident scheme introduced.

More still needs to be done to reduce the disability employment gap.

I’m doing a Channel Swim Relay: 21 miles 🌊 , 14–18 hours 🏊 , no wetsuit 🥶, jellyfish 🪼, and probably a tinge of regret.

I’m doing the relay for Aspire, which helps people with spinal cord injuries.

Any donation would be hugely appreciated 🙏🏻

From @jwindsorclive: Renewing the Conservative approach to disability and welfare https://t.co/t2ge0ZVKeL

[The Conservative Disability Group @The_C_D_G]

A productive conversation with the Party Chairman, @kevinhollinrake, about improving accessibility for @Conservatives. The key asks were:
- A concessionary rate for disabled members of the Party.
- A CCHQ contact with the disability brief.
- Reduced exhibition rates at Conference.
