Life costs MORE if you’re disabled:
- Extra energy costs for medical equipment
- Accessible transport or car adaptations
- Specialist services and therapies
- Paying more to get the weekly shop delivered
- Having to pay for a carer
- Higher heating bills
Created a starter pack for Herts charities and voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations: go.bsky.app/8rqo67L
Hope it can be useful to you!

A mugshot of the very wise but slightly bedraggled Dr Quentin Chops, Comms Canine extraordinaire!
It has been very nice having a WFH canine colleague today! He has been participating in all my meetings in exchange for gravy bones and pats. Such a Good Boy.

I love these events! They're so useful!
