January is often a time of fresh starts with many of us setting goals to improve our health, spend more time with loved ones, or start that hobby we’ve been putting off.
But what if, your New Year’s resolution did more than just improve your own life?

At today’s Social Democrats AV room presentations Access For All was represented by Kayleigh who spoke on how hard life is becoming in this cost of living crisis.
Afterwards we went into the dail to hear leaders questions only to be told no additional support’s will be made available in this Dail year.
So that’s another year of poverty and fighting!!!

Throughout January, we're focusing on practical ways organisations think about accessibility, not as a compliance exercise, but as something that improves how businesses work overall and can benefit everyone.
