🔎 Accessibility Matters – and We’re Still Being Ignored
Tired of shops, cafés, gyms, and even GPs that just don’t get it?
You’re not alone.
🧑🦽 Over 16 million people in the UK live with a disability — but 91% of us have had to leave a business because it simply wasn’t accessible.
That’s heavy doors, no step-free access, no seating, narrow aisles, poor signage — and no effort made to include us.

💬 “I just wanted to grab a coffee — but couldn’t even get through the door.”
💬 “No lowered counter, no help offered, just blank stares.”
💬 “Every time I ask, I’m treated like a problem.”
This isn’t just frustrating.
It’s discrimination.
And it’s happening every day.
😠 The Equality Act 2010 says businesses must make “reasonable adjustments.”
So why are so many still choosing to ignore us?
