If you get the chance to go before it closes on 15th February, I highly recommend seeing the Design and Disability exhibition at the V&A museum in London.
Very thought provoking, inclusive and awesome!

They cut a lot out and focused less on the out of date disabled Traffic Order, which was the point of the article! But good publicity as always!

Today (10th October) is World Mental Health Day — a reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health.
This year’s theme, set by the World Health Organization, is “Mental health is a universal human right.”

In the UK, millions of people experience mental health challenges each year — from anxiety and depression to stress, burnout, and beyond. Yet, too often, these struggles stay hidden behind a smile.
So today, let’s remind ourselves and each other:
💬 It’s okay to not be okay.
🤝 Asking for help is a sign of strength.
❤️ Small check-ins — a text, a call, a chat — can make a big difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please don’t face it alone. Support is available:
📞 Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7)
📱 Shout: Text 85258 for confidential text support
💻 Mind: www.mind.org.uk

Locally you can reach out to the following places:
