Thanks BBC Radio 5 Live for the in depth look at the lack of rentable #accessible #ukhomes earlier this week. Ellis Palmer 📻 did a great job describing the all too common challenges disabled people face. Recommended listen at 1:39 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Excited to be joining @RTPISouthWest conference this afternoon to talk the changing policy landscape for #accessible #ukhousing. As a non-planner I've enjoyed listening to this morning's speakers.

Saw lots of good inclusive design at Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill and other #Derby spots this weekend. But this ramp access in the old quarter caught my eye... The gravel approach is as good as a moat. Maybe a bonded surface would keep the 'look' but deliver the access intended? @CAE_info

Thanks for sharing this James. Another insightful Independent Voices read. I'd not really considered how hard it might be to get out for exercise as a wheelchair user. Disabling barriers are clearly attitudinal as well as physical. Media imagery can play a part in improving #inlcusion

Every day starts at home, including every working day, so it's easy to see how important an accessible home is to a disabled persons opportunity to work - just getting up and out can be a giant undertaking if a home isn't suitably #accessible! #AHW2023

It's been a big week for @habinteg, was delighted to be in parliament on Tuesday, discussing with Liz Twist MP, Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East, @SarahOwen_ MP, Lord Jamie Borwick and others, findings from our new report on the huge value of wheelchair #accessible #ukhomes.

Thanks Inside Housing for publishing my opinion piece on the social and economic value of #Wheelchair #Accessible homes. Great work from the team at LSE shows the benefits reach much further than just the household concerned. insidehousing.co.uk/comment/wheelc…

It's harder for us all to afford the safe, decent home we all need. More of us are being forced into homelessness. Will you join me and Crisis to ask the Chancellor to use his autumn statement to help those of us facing homelessness? #MakeHistory campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/137302/ac…

Excited to be with tenants in Manchester representing @Habinteg at the Inside Housing Affordable Housing Awards, nominated for both Excellence in Community Led Decision Making and Campaign of the Year.

If you're wondering what @habinteg campaigning work is all about, check out our #accesiblehomesweek webinar from October 2023.
