Reflecting on a tricky few months. Still in the thick of some changes and developments that need making, but still focused on putting the work in now for some long-term reward. All aimed at being there to support our blind and partially sighted community.

We've seen more stories about pavement parking in the news recently.
Pavement-parked cars continue to cause accessibility issues for a number of people, including wheelchair users, and visually impaired pedestrians.
📢 Cars belong on roads, and pedestrians belong on pavements.

New year, same old… stuff.
Yesterday the prime minister speculated cutting disability benefits could allow for tax cuts later this year 👇
🔗theguardian.com/politics/202…
ALT Four different news headlines of the same story on a ripped paper design. They read: 1) ‘Rishi Sunak says he wants to cut benefits to pay for tax cuts’. 2) ‘Sunak says he wants to reduce workers’ taxes this year and may cut benefits.’ 3) ‘Prime Minister Rishi Sunak working to crackdown on 'benefit scroungers'. 4) ‘Sunak pledges to cut taxes by curbing welfare spending’.
