@dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social I'm also protesting the changes to Motability, people will pay more and have less choice, while the available vehicles aren't always appropriate for their needs. And the ruination of #AccesstoWork, if you want disabled people to work, they need the means to do so.

for anyone wanting to add their experience w/ #AccessToWork to a national campaign: graeae.org/resource/acc.... original event has passed but the survey is continuing and i'd expect more to come.

it's long overdue time that #DWP steppedTF up and stopped making it demonstrably harder for us to work!

Just incase anyone is wondering, I just spoke to #AccessToWork, self employed applications are being dealt with from August 2024, employed applications from July 2025. But tell me how disabled people just don't want to work. #DisabilitySky #ChronicIllness

We’re Listening. To people applying for jobs.

The Application Maze™

🧩 Part 1: Journey - what the process feels like to move through
🧩 Part 2: Destination - how that experience leaves people feeling

Because fairer routes into work begin with listening.

Letter: How parliament ignored a disability charity’s evidence From Katharine Sutton, Managing Director, Aspire Community Works, London E2, UK

We submitted evidence to the Public Accounts Committee on #accesstowork but they failed to publish it, the lived experience of our workers was kept behind closed doors and parliamentary privilege. How many others had their voices silenced? See FT Letter shorturl.at/egyqE and retweet in support

Folks has anyone had any joy with Access to Work over the past 12 months? It’s been 11 now & I’ve heard nowt, and of course can’t get through to anyone over the phone… #disability #accesstowork

Full solidarity with Jenny Sealey, @graeaetheatre.bsky.social and all disabled companies and artists facing these outrageous and unjust cuts to their Access to Work support.

Please share!

Please stand in support of our disabled colleagues!

Please don’t be silent!

Paid employment has been a major personal goal of them both, and they now are contributing their skills and talents within a compassionate organisation proving vital care in the community.

#SupportedEmployment #AccessToWork #WorkAbility #Inclusion #EUinMyRegion

This comes a few months after the government announced plans to increase employment for disabled people.

Disabled artists deserve stable, reliable support to do our best work and grow long term careers.

Please share to help keep this issue visible.

Disabled people are facing an existential threat as #AccessToWork seems to be being gutted from the inside. We know it’s being reformed but not what this will look like or the timeline. We need leaders to engage now or risk undoing decades of investment
