After 20 years as a carer to a severely disabled young person, I’m now facing barriers I’ve never faced before. Everywhere I go, the answer is “Nimbus.”
No card? No carer entry. No PIP. No Blue Badge. No Carer’s Allowance accepted.
That’s gatekeeping & it’s deeply worrying.

This is a terrifying thread if you have a learning disability.
Parliamentlive.tv parliamentlive.tv/event/inde…. Lord Falconer claims his new amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults bill are stronger. There are not. They are unpicking amendments MPs fought for to protect disabled and vulnerable people. I tried to raise this but there

First: he’s made safeguards for people with learning disabilities **optional**.
Those with “substantial difficulty” understanding or communicating can now be *asked* whether they want to waive their advocate — before they’ve even had support to understand what’s happening.

Very rarely do I post on here…. But I am just so disappointed with @LNER #ChangingPlaces at #Retford station. This brand new facility has been locked up for over 18 months now! This is not fair on those who need to use it. @ChangingPlaceUK @jowhite__

For Changing Places Awareness Day, we want to highlight our facilities on Floor -2, which make a potential visit more accessible for an estimated quarter of a million people in the UK.

Everyone should be able to enjoy our towns without worrying about the basics.
That's why I’ve urged Government to support more @ChangingPlaceUK toilets across the country.
They’re life-changing for thousands of families and we need more - just like the one we opened in Leyburn.

We’ve just registered our 2,600th UK Changing Places toilet!
It’s a big step toward toilet equality, and while there’s more to do, we’re proud of how far we’ve come.
Thank you to everyone supporting the #ChangingPlaces campaign!

I’ve been lucky to continue to work with @Tesco and I’m so pleased to say that their Tesco Health Junior Pants and Junior Plus Pants are now available. I hope that these help some families.
Please share and spread the word. X

Yet again @MakeItYork prioritise tills ringing over access. This duct for power cabling too high & steep to get over even with my all- terrain power assist. Would tip you over if you tried in a powerchair 😡 One city for all, eh ? @CityofYork #TakingTheDis

Probably the least well known & talked about of all the awareness days.
Which is probably why most of us have no idea of all the symptoms, with things like dizziness, heart palpitations, bone density loss leading to breaks and tooth loss often coming as a shock to women.
