It’s time transport providers got themselves together. Why should disabled people always have to play a game of chance when using public transport? #Disability #publictransport

Enfield Council needs to be tough with its contractor Fusion because a week has gone by & our leisure centres remain shut. We all want our pools open for business. You should not need to be a member of David Lloyd’s or Nuffield to use a pool.

We need pools to open. Our swimmers are disabled and swimming is often the only sport they can participate and achieve in. Not swimming is making a lot of our members’ disabilities worse ☹️

Southbury Leisure Centre will not be opening tomorrow. It is delayed by 24 hours. Its only been closed since March you would have thought Fusion had had enough time to get its act together for reopening.

A huge, socially distanced, thank you to Fusion Lifestyle, Southgate Leisure Centre, Enfield Council, Joanne Laban, Enfield Swim Squad and everyone who’s been supporting us. We had our first club swim since March today and our swimmers really loved it! They were all really excited to swim again!

It's incredible to think that almost exactly 2 years ago we were having a great meal together to celebrate our 70th birthday. We are slowly making a return and, slowly but surely, we will be back up to full strength! Keep smiling penguins! halliwickpenguins.org/2019/07/21/cel… via @halliwick
