“The government’s proposed cuts to disability benefits will have devastating consequences for disabled people across the country - pushing thousands further into poverty, hardship, and isolation.
“Making it harder to access benefits won’t help disabled people find jobs either. It will only deepen the struggle.” independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
@sensecharity worked exclusively with @SkyNews on this important piece, revealing almost half of parents have struggled to find a school that meets their disabled child's needs. Disabled children are being denied their basic right to access education and this needs to change.

I worked with @itsjamestapper and the Observer team on this story - new research by Sense showing how disabled people are failed by the benefit system. Positive to see this coverage go on to be mentioned in Parliament - we'll keep campaigning on this issue theguardian.com/society/2024/n…
I also spoke to MPs about the need for more specialist teachers for disabled children - such as Harry, aged 8, who has multisensory impairment and lost his one to one support when the family moved home. We desperately need more MSI teachers. uk.news.yahoo.com/disabled-pupil…
For example, I spoke with Sarah Sackman MP about the fact not a single Jobcentre in the country has specialist accessibility equipment. Last year I worked with the Mirror on a story about this: mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/d…
Had a great time chatting to MPs at Labour Party Conference about our policy asks - including my local MP @sarahsackman. It was a bit different to my usual role in Sense, but I loved getting to talk about the issues at the heart of many stories I've worked with journalists on.
This is a hugely important issue. Unpaid carers can't continue to be taken for granted.
My @guardian story: More than a million unpaid carers in the UK who look after disabled, frail or ill relatives are living in poverty, new research shows, as pressure mounts on ministers to overhaul carer benefits theguardian.com/society/2024/s…
Eastleigh brothers win new BBC gameshow - and donate winnings to charity ift.tt/SrFb59v
Our research shows over half of people with complex disabilities find it difficult to afford their energy bills. The government must urgently implement a social energy tariff to ensure disabled people get help to pay their bills. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
After the Daily Mail ran a front page saying that Starmer must 'get a grip of workshy Britain', disability charity @sensecharity calls for change in media rhetoric to protect disabled people. 📰 Read more below. ⬇️ bigissue.com/opinion/disabl…
We're so excited that comedian @chrismccausland will participate in BBC Strictly Come Dancing! Our research has shown almost half of disabled people want to see more people like them on their screens. We can't wait to see what you do Chris - Good luck! 👏
Legendary Bob Smith, 79, has been running the London Marathon for Sense for 20 years. What an inspiration! inyourarea.co.uk/news/absolute-…
Look out for the BBC Lifeline Appeal at 14:05 this Sunday 31 March on BBC One. Meet the amazing Sonny, Verity and Cameron and learn how Sense is supporting them and their families.
Yvette skips meals so that she can turn the heating on for her daughter, Rosey, because can't regulate her own body temperature and can suffer seizures. We need to see long-term solutions implemented, like a social tariff on energy bills. #CostOfLiving bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Excellent article by my colleague @stevemorris11 in the @BigIssue - it's important that Government takes responsibility for the many ways disabled people were failed during the pandemic. I hope this inquiry is a chance to do that bigissue.com/opinion/disabl…
Disability charity @sensecharity are calling on the government to address significant failings in social care. One woman is providing 144 hours of unpaid care for her stepson every week. These are the most vulnerable demographic in every society cc @wesstreeting
One of the most powerful pieces of journalism I've seen in a long time. Sense Chief Executive Richard was interviewed for this documentary showing how the care crisis impacts disabled adults. A hugely important issue, and a privilege to be a part of.
For six months I have seen the care system through the eyes of those who rely on it to stay alive. This level of access is rare, sadly their struggles are not. Thank you to the families for letting us into their world. Fighting For our Son's Care is on @BBCiPlayer now.
A huge thank you to @ITVCentral for visiting one of our #SenseAwards superstars at @SenseCollLboro this week. Thomas, who's been shortlisted for our Young Person of the Year award, told reporter Jane how playing piano has helped him overcome adversity and grow in confidence 🎹
