Hello, for arts and cultural people - come and meet an amazing set of disabled artists that is Disconsortia on 26th May! Link below. #disabilityarts #DisabilityTwitter #arts #Dwarfism
Disabled artists often feel like we're missed off the map. @Disconsortia firmly believes in strength in numbers. INVITATION - an online chat to tell you about Disconsortia, & think together about what we'd love to see happening in our region - booking here bit.ly/3orMNRh
ALT A group of people in deep discussion - Paul Miller, Colly Metcalfe who is signing, Colin Hambrook and Trish Wheatley.
ALT Paul James, theatre director attending a Disconsortia network meeting. Paul is a middle aged black man wearing a flat cap and striped top, seated on a mobility scooter.
ALT Kim M cDermottroe - some of the Disconsortia meetings were creatively led by artists from the group. Kim has made a PIP assessment officer from a crocheted minion - caused much hilarity as a little scene was improvised.
ALT Karen Sheader, Paul Wilshaw and Lisette Auton chatting and laughing at a Disconsortia network meeting. Karen is a white woman in her late fifties, Paul is a young white man with curly hair and Lisette is a white woman with freckles who is 40 and laughing at the chat.
We have been talking to the creator of a light switch extension device that could be useful for those who have trouble reaching them easily.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Paul Rodriguez.
A huge part of the RGA and the wider restricted growth community for many years, at one time the vice chair of our charity.
we will miss Paul a great deal.
Our thoughts are with Paul’s family and friends at this sad time
Gill our Chair was excited to receive by post a premium unwrapping experience from the wonderful @ChamiahDewey. a fashion template book for little girls and women to explore their creativity through fashion #LPfashion @LPANational facebook.com/120441121361300…
2/2 We know the distress these comments have caused and know how the long term ripple effect of this language being in the main stream adversely affects the Restricted Growth community.
1/2 There continues to be much discussion on the comments of @Carra23 during the Liverpool Match on Sunday. It was picked up swiftly by an RGA trustee, we continue to be in discussions with @SkySports @kickitout and other organisations.
We will keep you posted on the outcome.
It is with the deepest sadness that Rachael Tlili, our wonderful friend, and trustee of RGA suddenly passed away yesterday on Friday 19th June.

I wish @Kiruna_Stamell would have met me as a young teen and told me her advice...wise words from a wonderful lady.

To all our friends, family, members, and supporters in the #dwarfism community...
...Happy #DwarfismAwarenessMonth 2018!
“The choices of a select few fuel a negative stereotype that affects the entire dwarfism community. It’s 2018. It’s time we smashed stereotypes – not sustained them.”

The “campaigners” are the Dwarfism support charities in the U.K. and US. The actions of a few affect the whole restricted growth / Dwarfism community. Respect to the charities @RGAUK and @LPANational
