New Blog Post: Why Cycle to Work Day Isn’t for Everyone It’s Cycle to Work Day here in the UK, but many disabled people are left behind by this initiative. In my latest blog, I talk about why schemes like this often overlook accessibility, how public transport fails us too, and what real inclusion could look like.

"As individuals, we are our own worst enemy. If you have a dream to study at a particular university, don't talk yourself out of it." This week on the HEnabled podcast, I was joined by the wonderful Martin! Martin struggled with school due to his dyslexia and did not enter higher education until he was in his 30s. He now holds five master's degrees from elite UK universities, including LSE, Imperial, UCL, Royal Holloway, Oxford, and Cambridge. He currently works at PWC. This week's episode truly showcases Martin's persistence and tenacity in all kinds of educational environments. You can listen to it now on Spotify via the embedded link or wherever you get your podcasts!

#Repost @rootedinrights (@get_repost) ・・・ Since it's snowing in different parts of the country, it felt fitting for this week's #BlogThrowback to discuss the importance of keeping curbs clear of snow. Read Marley Hamrick's post here: http://www.rootedinrights.org/calling-all-towns-shovel-your-crappy-snow-covered-curbs/ Photo📷: Light blue background with a mustard-yellow speech bubble with the following quote in dark blue font: "Crappy snow-covered curbs are not just an inconvenience for those of us who use mobility devices. They can literally make the difference between maintaining employment, accessing medical care, and getting food or being unable to leave our homes." - Marley Hamrick..
