The President of the International Paralympic Committee has said that disabled people need a global campaign similar to the Black Lives Matter movement as too many disabled people are invisible and held back from participating fully in society. thetimes.co.uk/article/disabโ€ฆ

We are so grateful to the small amount of staff we have and also some very special volunteers. We believe in people and we know who are there to support us so we can support others. To those whoโ€™ve given us the support, Thanks ๐Ÿ™๐ŸšŒ

The national disability strategy, published today by the UK government, will do little in practical terms to improve the lives of disabled people. It relies on vague language and makes few substantial commitments.

We need a long-term strategy and commitment to tackling the inequalities that disabled people face. The Govโ€™ts โ€˜National Disability Strategy' is a step forward, but does not contain the actions needed to deliver transformational change. We need more ambition, scope and funding.
