“Sorry, I was on mute!” Zoom, Skype, google hangout, FaceTime... we’ve all heard it when using it for work or socialising. It would be amazing if when you find yourself saying it, you donated a couple of £ to support @guidedogs work 😁 justgiving.com/fundraising/s…

"I hate the word 'inspirational'. I don’t want your sympathy or pity". In this powerful opinion piece for #InternationalWomensDay Jo-Ann speaks about challenging stereotypes, living with Usher syndrome, and fighting to create an 'enabling society'. blog.sense.org.uk/2018/03/im…
Meet my good buddy Samson, we’re both #GuideDogs but our uniforms are slightly different. He wears a red & white flash on the front of his harness, this means his owner has sight & hearing loss. @usherchic2
