Today we celebrate the start of #UKDisabilityHistoryMonth. We’ve certainly made strides in #disabilityrights but there’s still got a long way to go. It’s time we recognise the immense potential #PwD bring to the workforce and work towards closing the employment gap.
Massive congratulations to @England_RL for making it to the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final. Let’s bring home the win! It’s great to see awareness and public interest for #PwD in sports grow. Let’s keep the momentum going!
