Hello TV and radio editors working this weekend!

Did you know Sunday is International Disabled People's Day?

1 in 5 people are disabled. It'd be really great if you could mark this day for and with us!

I'd love to help you do so

Sign the petition calling for more #AccessibleHousing which isn't just for wheelchair users, but for all of us. As we age we need homes that suit our needs & accessible homes allow us to stay in our homes whatever life throws at us.

Why is it up to disabled individuals to enforce the laws that are meant to protect us?
