It's been a brilliant few weeks with our Children and Young People's Service hosting a range of Christmas events and activities for our service users.
Families have been treated to a cinema experience, bowling and a huge party with games at our events in Manchester and Southport

SURPRISE!
Earlier this year I began a friendship on here & a few weeks ago he invited me to Iceland; his treat🥺💙
We’ve never met before!
So, I’m here for a week to explore the country with him, because life’s too short not to take chances & adventures with new people🥳✌🏻💕

How accessible is it for a totally #blind person to go into a recording studio and record a single? In this podcast, Joe Kenny, the blind singer/song-writer from #NorthernIreland, talks to me about this and his debut single, Chasing a Dream.

For the first time in my life, I’m going to feature on an album track. It’s a track called disconnect from you by The Vow. If the track finds its way onto YouTube, I’ll post the link. Pictures show me sitting in the studio, wearing headphones, pretending to do some recording 🙂.

By the age of 26, disabled people are four times more likely to be out of work.
What can be done to change this? Our training is designed and delivered to help employers further their understanding of disability.

Stunning Journalism on this evening’s @Channel4News. I’ve just watched a package presented by a disabled reporter. Genuine Inclusion. If you missed it, I’m sure this evenings program is available online. I hope other broadcasters are watching and taking notes.

And a HUGE thank you to @AhishaGhafoor who we could not have done this without. We had such a huge response, we desperately needed an organised Queen with a beautiful way about her when speaking to people. And she appeared xxx

5/6 We looked at many different areas – isolation, mental health, the impact on people’s disability, access to healthcare, employment and social care cuts.
To everyone who has spent hours on the phone with us, filmed for us or met with us…thank you 💖

4/6 Alongside another talent, @Philleddo, we travelled many miles and met some incredible people who really have had the toughest of times and tomorrow, their voices will be heard. We’re finally getting to tell their stories. I just hope we do them justice.

3/6 The talented force that is Ruth @Cleggins82 and I have been working hard to try and get the most comprehensive picture and we’ve had a pretty incredible response to our questionnaire which Ruth worked tirelessly on.

2/6…six out of ten people who have died from Covid – 19 had a disability. Basically, you were far more likely to die from the virus and far more likely to feel its effects in other ways and so we wanted to look more closely at how disabled people were being impacted.

Just arrived at a primary school near Chester for my first @JustDifferent08 #Diversity awareness job for well over a year. The children sound lively so I am expecting to be kept on my toes :-).

Happy #Pride Month!
While pride marches aren't taking place as usual this June, we continue to fight for LGBT+ rights at home and abroad everyday.
In the last few weeks we’ve seen how that fight is never over - but we will never give up and we will always stand united together.

Interesting … I was called an effing blind c**t by some kid on an eScooter in Liverpool last night. At least @voitechnology are comfortable with the effect eScooters are having on society. @MerseyPolice
