It was great working with Leon on a subject he is very passionate about, if you missed it please do listen back.

This is incredibly brave and moving piece from Cassie part of United Response and Leonard Cheshire report into disability hate crime. There is a lot of divisive language being used and it's important to note it can have real consequences for disabled people. Please be an ally.

BAFTA awarding-winning actor Leon Harrop has suffered disability discrimination. That’s why he’s making this week’s #R4Appeal on behalf of United Response, a charity campaigning for equal rights and access to opportunities for disabled people.

Lovely to have been invited back on to BBC Access All with the formidable Dr Mark Brookes Dimensions to talk about United Response work with Leonard Cheshire to encourage allyship and help create communities free from hate 💛

Good to hear Yvette Cooper on Sky News reference governments failure not to renew the hate crime action plan. We want to see this urgently reversed to support all victims of hate crime and look at why disability hate crime charges are dropping unitedresponse.org.uk/news-item/disa…

"Those considered not to be trying hard enough could be threatened with having their benefits sanctioned." Again threatening rather than supporting people with physical and mental health conditions to work. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-673853…

🚨 NEW: UK government has failed to address "grave and systemic violations" of disabled people's rights, a UN committee has found. Disabled people face “abuse”, “trauma” and death as a result of government policies in social care, welfare and housing bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

This is great! Clearly politicians aren't talking about it but voters deserve to know plans for #SocialCare

Great to see a commitment and hopefully a chance to go further in making travel accessible. This is why United Response research into #disabilityhatecrimes on transport is so important.

Our amazing team United Response supported Louise and her father Mac, who feature in this piece, to challenge the decision to cut her support hours. Social care enables people to live in the place they call home with the people and things they love. This can’t be put at risk.

You’ll need to go to a polling station to vote. You should have received a card in the post which says where your polling station is.

This is good to see, so important people most affected by changes to social care have their say, Easy Read guidance on voting can be found here myvotemyvoice.org.uk/voting-resourc… #MyVoteMyVoice

A great celebration of the amazing work of the Our Life Stories team and lots more to come! United Response
