MEMORIES CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF THE MOBILITY ROADSHOW: Do you remember these bears?

Keith Hirons has an unbearably cute memory of his visit to the Roadshow at Donington Park in  June 2000.

“I still have one of your Mobility Roadshow bears. His name is Moti. I had booked and organised the stand for the Disabled Ramblers Association that year.”

Moti had cousins that were present other years. We wonder if anyone else still has a Mobility Roadshow…

The times they are. Changing

The next three years are heading for being a nightmare as the welfare reforms kick in. I work with people with long term conditions and already the letters, the assessments and the appeals are stacking up.

I just see that people don't know what to do. My three crucial pieces of advice… Continue

It's Not That I Don't Want To Help Myself

It’s not that I’m being ungrateful for your suggestions, on the contrary I am touched and very grateful that you thought of me and offered support. My apparent lack of willingness to take on these suggestions comes not from not wanting to help myself but just from the fact that over the last ten years I have tried so many things, including the things you suggested and they just don’t work. The most they can offer is maybe more effective illness management. This illness takes so much away…

Before I became ill and to an extent lost my independence I never really worried too much about what was going on around me or about other people.  Oh yes, I sponsored a child in another country and had a direct debit going to Oxfam, belonged to CND and Amnesty International, the usual, but nothing extensive.

Turning first vegetarian and then vegan first began the turn in tide for me when my eyes were opened to the state the world was in and how it was down to each one of us…
