massive thanks to Pete and the whole team @guidedogs for a great #adayinthelife learning about their amazing support of those with sight loss - special mention to Bertie and Q for showing me how things are done! @NCVO
.@TfL @TfLAccess just had to get myself off this 507 after the ramp jammed. Bus couldn’t move & ramp wouldn’t deploy. Your driver was helpful & apologetic but what can he do when the 🚌 fails him? #WheelchairReality @transportforall
fantastic to spend the day volunteering at @Providence_Row with @mhclg colleagues as they provide crisis support, advice, recovery and learning for homeless clients - thanks for having us!
delighted to see @Citymapper launch #stepfree routes in London as standard! it’s going to save me so much time planning travel... just look what good data can do... #WheelchairReality #accessibleLondon

important reading on #IDDP18 #HolmesPublicApptsReview - about how we harness the talent of disabled people in public life - @LordCHolmes - we have a responsibility as public servants to reflect the communities we work hard for ♿️
Off to work ♿️🚉 @LGAcomms where we’ve launched a green paper for adult social care & wellbeing to start a much-needed conversation about how councils continue to help other #disabledpeople start their mornings... #FutureofASC futureofadultsocialcare.co.u…
In the busy build up to #LGAConf18 I forgot to get @MarkLloydLGA a birthday🎂- attempting to redeem myself with a birthday flatwhite! Happy Birthday, Mark! 🎉 – at Birmingham, England
