On our annual “Lions Day”, we organised a day out with a difference. Helped with transport by @CompaidTW and assistance from Tonbridge Welcomes Refugees we took 30 Ukrainian refugees to Bedgebury Pinetum where we provided them with tickets to Go Ape, cycle hire & a picnic lunch.

Social inclusion and wellbeing of people like Ethan whose situation, disability, or impairment means traveling safely alone would be a significant challenge or even impossible. "I had a really great time....I'd love to go on a trip like this again" #TacklingLoneliness @CompaidTW

Pleased to have helped @CompaidTW secure £10,000 in funding from the @Nominet Members' GiveHub. If you're a member with Nominet, I would recommend finding a local organisation who could benefit. The application process was really straightforward.

Out of the 507 clients who participated in activities as part of our #TacklingLoneliness with Community Transport project during Jul-Sept, 332 of them had long term physical or mental health conditions, disabilities and/or impairments - CT is vital for these communities!

A few of our #students attended video interviews with The People’s Theatre Company! This was for the company’s current project, which is to make their theatre more #accessible for those with #disabilities. The students really enjoyed giving their opinions on what can be done.

This is such a vital service. @CompaidTW provides a lifeline to those in the district who would otherwise be totally isolated, to lump this in with commercial bus route funding is wrong. I will work with other Kent District and Borough Leaders to urge @Kent_cc to think again

The Kent County Council wants to terminate several private bus services, including our Kent Karrier which helps disabled and elderly people get around Kent. What do you think of this proposal? kent.gov.uk/bussavings #KCC #BusSavings #socialcare #nonprofit #disabled #charity
