We're gathered here at Downing Street today to call for accessible homes for everyone. Disabled people should not have to wait years for a suitable home where we can be independent. Nothing about us! without us!

Proud for Real to be represented at the Inclusion London lobby for Disabled people to get accessible housing and to co-sign a joint letter to Kier Starmer UK Prime Minister. It is basic matter of equity which causes great suffering. #AccessDenied #housing

Thanks to all who alerted us to the marketing stunt at Old Street station, that was so dangerous to disabled people. We met with TfL and requested the equality impact assessment and full consultation with disabled people in future, to keep London safe and accessible to us all.

Reaching our full potential in life is important to us all. But Disabled people are often overlooked as leaders due to assumptions about what we can and can’t do. Real is led by Disabled people, one of many orgs reminding the world of what’s possible on #IDDP #IDPD
