We were delighted to welcome local MP @ThomasMorrison to Seashell Trust this week following a letter from our Student Governor Representative, Stevie, about the challenges disabled people face when using public transport. Alongside fellow Royal College Manchester Student Ambassadors Laneyle and Kaitlin, Stevie spoke directly with Tom about limited wheelchair spaces on buses, accessibility issues at Handforth Station and the need for safer, more accessible routes around Stockport. We are incredibly proud of our students for sharing their experiences and championing greater independence and accessibility for disabled people in our community.
