This morning, I gave the U.K. Gov and the DWP both barrels in my speech to the U.N. Disability Rights Committee. U.K. is a systematic and grave disability rights abuser. When the #CRPD29 issues its report in March the evidence we submitted today will be founded upon. Solidarity

I've had some worried messages about The Budget #Disability Benefits announcement. Pls note this was a White Paper, ie proposal not draft law so early stage. Much can change & it can't start til 2026, so for now don't fret. Here's @MindCharity assessment mind.org.uk/news-campaigns/n…

As an update, our client has now had a text telling her she will get her form (requested on 6/6/22) within the next 7-10 days. Thus starting at least another 3-4 months before she gets a decision.
She is in pain & needs the help now.

Lovely to see friends/colleagues again after all this time. So proud that @active_ind & @ActIndPASupport worked incredibly hard through the pandemic providing advice, advocacy & craft activities (albeit remotely). No #Partygate for us, just hard graft! #SmallCharityBigDifference
First proper AGM in two years. No zoom - just lots of smiling faces & catching up with lovely friends & colleagues @active_ind 🙂❤️🙂

I recently listened to how someone treated their junior colleague and was absolutely shocked.
… remember, regardless of who you are, or the position you hold… we all came from the same place.
Kindness and manners costs nothing.
