Life costs more for disabled people. And the costs are rising 📈

In 2025, disabled households would need an extra £1,095 per month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households.

This is called the #DisabilityPriceTag 💷

Since 1971 the extra costs of disability (AA, MobA, DLA, now PIP) enabled me to access education, employment, housing . It's what enabled a career which led me to Parliament. When I met Stephen Timms MP it became obvious he is under orders. Be brave MPs you can say not this way

Testimonial

Hannah’s keynote focused on how social media can be harnessed for disability activism, but she has such a vast knowledge of disability issues that I think she would have done a great job whatever our focus was!  Our event was a hybrid event and Hannah presented with both in-person and virtual audiences in mind.  It was a pleasure to work with Hannah and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other event organisers.
