Social Care is crucial to so many out there (and in here) but we often neglect to pay attention at its shrinking services and impact

Deaf people and their families are still expected to pay to learn the language they need for basic communication, relationships and safety. In the UK there are around 151,000 BSL (British Sign Language) users, including an estimated 87,000 Deaf people, yet access to BSL classes remains patchy, costly and dependent on postcode and personal finances. That is not what genuine accessibility and equality look like.

This new UK Parliament petition calls for free BSL courses for all deaf individuals and their friends and family. Giving families and close networks free access to BSL would reduce isolation, improve mental health, and help deaf people participate more fully in education, work, healthcare and community life. It aligns with recent evidence of “relentless frustration” and systemic barriers faced by deaf and deafblind BSL users in health and social care.

If you believe communication should never depend on someone’s bank balance, please take a moment today to read and sign the petition, and share it with your network:

Every signature helps move this issue up the political agenda – at 10,000 signatures the Government must respond, and at 100,000 it can be considered for debate in Parliament.

Have you looked at your circle of control for the Christmas ⛄🎁 season?

This time of year can feel especially intense in our local communities – pressure to do more, see more people, spend more money, be “festive enough” – on top of managing health, energy and everyday life. Focusing on things we actually *can* control (like our boundaries, how we pace ourselves, and how we speak to ourselves) can make a big difference, especially if we’re living with chronic illness or disability.

I’m sharing this Circle of Control as a gentle prompt for anyone in our area who might be feeling overwhelmed. Have a look and see what feels true for you: what would you add or take away to fit your reality this Christmas? If you’d like to connect with others who “get it”, feel free to comment or send a message.

Have you checked in with your circle of control for the Christmas ⛄🎁 season?

This time of year can bring a lot of pressure, expectations and comparison, especially if you are living with chronic illness or disability. Many of those pressures come from things we cannot control – like other people’s reactions, family dynamics, the weather, or last‑minute plan changes. Focusing on what is outside our control can drain precious energy and increase stress.

Take a look at the Circle of Control below and notice what feels true for you. What belongs in your inner circle (for example: your boundaries, pacing, self‑talk, how you choose to rest or show up)? What clearly sits outside it (for example: other people’s moods, whether invitations are accessible, or how “Christmassy” you feel)?

Would you add or take off anything to make it fit your reality this festive season as an adult with chronic conditions or disabilities? Pop your thoughts in the comments so we can support each other to focus on what we can influence, and let go – as much as possible – of what we can’t.
