Please give @lvac_cic a follow. They’re a great bunch of people who genuinely want to make a difference, using cultural learning to address health and educational inequalities. I can’t wait to start working with them 💜 #EastDurham #Art #community

A question for disabled people/people with disabilities: Which do you prefer to use when talking about yourself: 1️⃣ Person-first language: “I am a person with a disability” 2️⃣ Identity-first language: “I am a disabled person” Please RT for wider reach.

Lol - UK govt AGREED to eliminate disability discrimination in 2009 It’s 2023 and I couldn’t even knock on the door of @10DowningStreet to deliver a handwritten letter about the constant discrimination I face on public transport.. because it WASN’T accessible 😖 – at Granadilla de Abona, Spain
At the door of number 10 Downing Street. My MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy is to the left of shot knocking the door for me. I am to the right of the image with the letter in my hand in an oversize brown envelope pointing at the door that I couldnt reach as the ramp only goes up one step and even then I couldn’t get onto the ramp as the turning space wasn’t there for me to turn & get onto it. February 2023.

I have loved The Very Hungry Caterpillar since I first discovered it at primary school. (I was a bit shocked at the holes being in a book though!) 20+ years later, it delighted my own kids, too. It truly is timeless. theguardian.com/books/2021/m…

After Boris Johnson criticises them for ‘not following procedures’, care homes wonder whether they should have booked a coach trip to Durham or Greece instead.

Just had a call from NHS Shielding service. Apparently, the government says I'm fine to go out from 1 August 2020. That's okay then.
Question: When applying for a training course, have you ever been asked to fill in a medical proforma? I'm not applying for the military or emergency services It's study and written work, only, nothing physical It's not part of the evaluation/ monitoring section
