“#Swimming & #hydrotherapy..is a time I am free from my bed or #wheelchair and once settle can get around independently. It enables me to #exercise & stretch tight muscles as well as doing #physio exercises that are not possible on land": buff.ly/3NpJO9m by Hannah Deakin

“'If you do #sport then you are going to be a #Paralympian.' No, the Paralympians are talented athletes like Olympians..As a non-#disabled person, when you do sport do you get asked whether you are going to be an Olympian?”: buff.ly/3ZGWEaC by Hannah Deakin #stereotypes

“'Using a #mobilityaid is a negative thing or a sign of #weakness/giving up.' Absolutely not! Sometimes we all have to realise our #limitations and if you can’t do something, recognising you need help is a #strength”: buff.ly/3ZGWEaC by Hannah Deakin #ChronicIllness

“Sometimes I remember just getting worse & worse, or feeling like there was no progress & would there ever be? When I look back, although it has taken years, I have made large gains & now have a reasonable #QualityOfLife": buff.ly/3NpJO9m by Hannah Deakin #ChronicIllness

NEW: 2025-My Hopes and Goals I have many goals from Disability advocacy to ACCA exams to physiotherapy. These are my plans, but life and chronic illness can often have others, so I try and be mindful they may not happen. hannahshope.co.uk/2025-my-hopes-…

Happy 7th blog Anniversary! Hannah's Hope 💗🎉 7 years ago I hit publish on my blog. It has led me to many speeches, interviews and opportunities. I hope it has made a difference, raised awareness, changed perceptions and provided support to others living with disabilities.

#CallTheMidwife this evening just shows the difference inclusion makes. It also shows some of the realities that still exist for disabled people and parent carer 💜

NEW BLOG POST: What Does Disability Look Like? "There isn't one 'look'. We don't go around with a sticker on our head saying 'I'm disabled'!" #Invisibledisabilities #Disability #Stereotypes hannahshope.co.uk/what-does-disa…

Dear disabled people, you don't need to use all your energy justifying your existence on here and "Educating" people who don't care. I know how hard this is, but they want us to be scared and isolated. But you don't have to justify yourself to anyone

The misinformation around disability benefits & Motability in this country is mind blowing. You do not buy/get given a free car, you lease it! Giving up usually all of your mobility PIP payments, plus paying thousands of pounds as upfront payment & even then, you don’t own it!

Pitching today as 1 of 4 finalists at Naidex Main Stage at 14:35 for the Elevate - Disabled Founders Pitch in partnership with Lloyds. Wishing @AbilityToday Bass Therapy Mixed Reality & @TubieLifeUK the very best of luck. #Naidex2025 #DisabledEntrepreuneurs There's

Blog post: Life Post Injury-20 Years On 'Part of me struggles to let go of what I have missed. That life, with maybe just a few bumps in the road, instead of the mountains I have had. However, part of me embraces the new life.' #anniversary hannahshope.co.uk/life-post-inju…

It is great to be featured in the CareCo Life's new magazine with a four page Q&A with myself and a little feature and photo on the front too! #CareCo #Disability #MobilityAids #disabilitycampaigner

"How Did we Cope? I don’t know. U just have to keep going. 1 step (literally) at a time, putting 1 foot in front of the other. Getting thru each day. U either keep going or u dont. Luckily, we chose to keep going. All of us": buff.ly/Ua7heVw by Hannah Deakin #ChronicPain

NEW BLOG POST: PIP-Disability benefit-What is Happening? "Targeting those who are already disproportionately affected by poverty. Targeting those who have extra costs of on average of £1010 a month." #Pip #DisabilityBenefits #TakingThePIP Scope hannahshope.co.uk/pip-disability…

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.
