Help us stop dangerous bus stops designs 🚏 Our new report has revealed Floating Island Bus Stops and Shared Bus Stop Boarders are causing significant fear and anxiety for people with a vision impairment and other disabilities, leading some to avoid these bus stops altogether.

Along with Scope and 15 other charities, we've signed an open letter to the Chancellor urging her to think again on cutting disability benefits. Disability benefits are often vital to enabling someone with a vision impairment to live the life they choose. scope.org.uk/campaigns/open…

Disability benefits can be a lifeline for people with a vision impairment. We'll be working with the Vision Partnership and wider disability sector to understand what the benefits and Access to Work proposals announced today mean for people with sight loss. (1/2)

Whilst we welcome the pause in changes to the PIP eligibility threshold until after the assessment review, the Government must follow through on their commitment to co-produce this with disabled people if we are to prevent an additional 150,000 people facing poverty (5/5)
