We were delighted to be joined by Minister @LilianGreenwood, @MarieTidball and colleagues to discuss how accessible transport enables disabled people to access work, education and everyday life. Thanks to everyone who joined us! (1/3)
Great to join @marietidball, colleagues, campaigners and Motability at a roundtable #Lab26 to discuss the barriers disabled people still face accessing work, education and training and how we can work together to break them down. 🌹
