Purpose of "Disability matters"

The following is a list I included in my first post of proposed subjects to be covered by the Board:-

places with disability parking and toilets; Charities which include disabled persons in their events; ; kind people who are prepared to offer lifts, and bring things from the UK and possibilities for car/taxi sharing etc... ,, sources to hire, buy or borrow equipment, facilities such as mobile hairdresser and chiropodist

I would particularly like to see encouragement for people to advertise facilities and services:: try to get restaurants for example to provide disabled parking as an amenity - and mobile services - a hair wash and style can be a real morale boost for a housebound person. Also that Charities should be encouraged to include disabled people in their events by specifying disabled facilities available in their choice of venue and advertisements

It is not a place, as has been suggested, for "having a moan" but I hope anyone with problems which are getting them down, and depressed by the indeference or even hostility of the wider world and wants a friendly and sympathetic ear will find a welcome here.
