Since December we have been in the process of refounding CIVIC SQUARE, building on what we have learned over the past three years to iterate and orientate more appropriately to the North Star mission with knowledge and insights gained from our first phase: bit.ly/CIVICSQUARE2_0

So happy to b part of this Team!! Great working with U all 🤩💡

I’m outraged too. Fuelling the racism in their rabid readership with this deceitful drivel!

I'm taking long term decisions for a brighter future, like deciding to travel everywhere by private jet.

Its International Day of Disabled People #IDPD2023 #IDPD - no 'celebration' but a reminder how under represented disabled people are in the cultural sector (& other sectors too!) 22 % in population & between 6-9% representation in the arts. This just won't do. Sector - do better.

Changing the landscape for disabled artists... Today on International day of disabled people, we share the first in a series of films on the work we do all year round: bit.ly/3Rp8yS8 #WeAreUnlimited #LetsCreate #InternationalDayOfDisability #DisabilityAwarenessMonth

This #IDPD I wrote about the systemic barriers to meaningful employment for disabled people. We are not ‘work shy’ or ‘benefit cheats’ - we’re being over-excluded and some even face exploitation in the job market. express.co.uk/comment/expres… #AutumnStatement #DisabledWorkers #Work

On this International Day of Disabled people, I celebrate a community who are too often underestimated, devalued and discriminated against yet through this, we survive, sometimes thrive and always, our presence in the world makes it a damn sight better x #IDDP2023 #CripsRule

About time someone said this on primetime TV 😕

I can’t say how refreshing it is to see this. It’s uniquely cruel to have a life changing illness whilst being told - by medics and the media - that you’re making it all up. From ME to Long Covid, I hope this is the beginning of post-viral patients being believed and helped.

CN: Ableism in theatre. A new blog on the negative depictions of mobility aids in English National Opera’s Magic Flute & why this production & how it’s being reviewed are deeply damaging.

I need to work p/t or get #UniversalBasicIncome, so that when i’m too sick to work, &/or need to care for my Dad, i’m not also stressed about bills! Am so done with trying to juggle work, caring duties & my own health needs - was so tired ystrdy, i forgot to take my own meds!!

I’m chuffed to bits to be on this list!! Thanks to Paines Plough Freedom Studios and Bradford 2025 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thousands of disabled people will get £2,800 a year less after the Universal Credit rollout, it’s emerged. The ways in which the Tory party have found to push disabled people into poverty truly is endless. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

Today's news feels like an assault on disabled people. We are in a cost-of-living crisis. Government looking to slash disabled people’s income by hitting personal independence payment (PIP) is a horrific proposal. It's dangerous and risks leaving disabled people destitute.

The idea “every aspect of the support for disabled people” must “help people get into work” is deeply grim from Labour. Benefits and the NHS don’t exist to turn disabled people into economic productively units. They are to help us live well. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

This morning Conservative MP and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Mel Stride said that GPs will no longer determine whether a patient gets a sick note, and that WorkWell will make the assessment. Who is WorkWell? After a quick search online: ➡️ WorkWell is a series of
