Good luck to everyone doing the #GreatNorthRun2024 today! On Friday night trustee Abbie and pal Leo took on the 5k in their wheelchairs to raise money for us! Having never raced in their chairs before it was quite the challenge! You can sponsor them here: shorturl.at/YqPko

The challenges faced by disabled students are many and multiple. You cannot think about each of these challenges in isolation, the cumulative impact on a young person’s education experience can be substantial! #InclusiveEducation #DisabledStudent #University #Disability

"I never knew anyone older than me who had a feeding tube, I wish I’d known that I’d still be able to follow my dreams when I was younger." This blog post is such an incredible read, and so powerful for young people to be able to see the possibilities amongst challenging health

We asked the LUNA community What an Accessible Classroom Looks Like & here is what they said… There are a huge range of adaptations that make a learning space accessible for disabled individuals. Some are quick & easy to implement, others take a bit of creative thinking!

The amount of self-advocacy that disabled young people have to do to make ableist school systems work for them is huge. We hear time and time again from young people that getting reasonable adjustments implemented is often an unnecessarily arduous battle.
