“My world has become very small.” Disabled people make 1/3 fewer journeys per week than non-disabled people. When transport isn’t accessible, it isolates us. Let’s change transport, and challenge loneliness together. #LonelinessAwarenessWeek transportforall.org.uk/news/…

Did you know disabled women are nearly twice as likely to face economic abuse as non-disabled women. Disabled victim-survivors often face additional challenges in accessing support and fleeing abusers. We need to prioritise accessible, inclusive services that empower all victim-survivors to regain control of their lives.
1 in 4 disabled women in the UK experienced economic abuse in the last 12 months.

📢NEW: The For All Manifesto It is appalling that, in 2024, disabled people still do not have equal access to transport. That is why we have coproduced a manifesto with evidence-based actions MPs can take to fix this staggering injustice. 👇 tinyurl.com/3rvjynpm

To butcher a well known phrase - it's the inequality, stupid. Our beloved children are not getting poorer on their own. Let's stop asking 'where's the money coming from' when talking about supporting our children. Let's ask 'where's the money going to?'.
