Life lessons I’ve learnt being disabled — My life kerry’s way
Spoiler alert: Being disabled means living in a society that wasn’t designed with mine or other disabled people’s needs in mind. That first sentence may sound rather harsh but in reality very true, there is no other way to describe it from a disabled person’s point of view – It can create difficult situations, and […]Life… Continue reading Life lessons I’ve learnt being disabled — My life kerry’s way
‘Changing Places’ – Coventry University: Alison Gingell Building
There was no indication that there was a 'Changing Places' facility located in Coventry University itself. The ones listed were located in the city. After visiting Coventry University, I found a 'Changing Places' was in fact located in the Alison Gingell Building, the Health and Sciences building.

‘Changing Places’ Tesco Superstore, New Milton
The location of this Changing Places was very good within the shop as it was away from other toilet facilities, hopefully meaning it is less likely to be used by the wrong people.

Is Ignorance really bliss! — My Life, Kerry’s Way
The saying ‘Ignorance is bliss‘ but Is it when that ignorance is potentially harming others? Most people that know or follow me know that I’m extremely active when it comes to fighting for an inclusive world, not just for myself but other disabled people whether it’s visible or non-visible, so as you can imagine the […]Is… Continue reading Is Ignorance really bliss! — My Life, Kerry’s Way
Why are people afraid? — My Life, Kerry’s Way
Disability/impairment – what is it that scares people? It is a question I would love to get my wheels stuck into with a room full of people and ask why?
