At the beginning of the pandemic, the Government was putting out a lot of digital communications that weren’t accessible to #Blind and #PartiallySighted people. That’s why we launched our #InfoForAll campaign.
Public health information must reach everyone. #InfoForAll

Psychotherapy and counselling relationships have to consider the intersectional nature, power and privilege. Otherwise the work is repeating this dynamic and ultimately there is no change in the world.

Today, @JamesDavies & @CGreenUK open a debate on the value of charity-funded research in Westminster. If Government want to ensure the UK is equipped to tackle our biggest health challenges they must back charity-funded #ResearchAtRisk at tomorrow’s #SpendingReview.

It's particularly important to get your eyes tested regularly if you have a close relative with glaucoma, if you're African-Caribbean, Asian, diabetic, have low blood pressure or are short sighted. All these factors increase your risk of #glaucoma. lght.ly/l5phi2i

53% of #Blind people and 15% of #PartiallySighted people said they couldn’t read any of the information the council had sent. “I wish more of the information sent to me was in large print or the number for asking for large print wasn't in the smallest print.” #AccessibleVoting

Voting is a basic democratic right. It's essential changes are made to ensure #Blind and #PartiallySighted voters can be confident they have an independent and private vote, every time. Rachael explains why she brought a legal case on #AccessibleVoting rnib.in/TurnedOutReport

It is obscene to even discuss giving MPs a pay rise when so many across the country are struggling, and when key workers such as nurses, have been denied one. If this rise goes ahead, I will donate it to local causes in Streatham. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/m…

MPs on course for above-inflation pay rise in April despite coronavirus pandemic

Parliament's pay watchdog has said MPs' wages will keep being based on public sector pay - which if current rates continue would earn them a 4.1% rise of around £3,300 next year

People in England are now required by law to self-isolate if they receive a positive #COVID19 test result or are told to by NHS Test and Trace. A £500 payment is available if you are on a low income and you cannot work from home. For info 🔽 gov.uk/government/news/new-l…
