Is it difficult to leave your home? Are you isolated/need exercise? I overcame some of those issues by joining Working On Wellness. They offer free, sponsored exercise classes Monday to Thursday at 4pm GMT via zoom with a friendly chat at the start of each session. www.facebook.com/WorkingOnWel...

Disability is not a personal or moral failing. Everyone is one accident, infection or stroke of bad luck from becoming disabled. When someone asks for help, give it freely and without strings. Don’t judge them or tell them to “try harder”. One day it’ll be your turn.

Access to rail services UK Here in the Brentwood borough we need an external lift from platform 4 similar to that supplied to Abbey Wood station in south London. This issue has been outstanding for over 20 years and is getting more and more restrictive as the town's population gets older.
