Building and facilities are wheelchair accessible, please see the St Werburghs Community Centre website for futher details.  #BristolDisability #DisabledBristol

All disabilities, such as physical, mental, neurological etc, are welcome and the group is free.  The Community Table is a large table in the main space next to the cafe, so noise levels will vary.

Disability Social Group is a peer led space to socialise where you can meet other disabled people. It takes place every Friday 14:00 to 15:00. Feel free to join for as little or as long as you like.

I can't drink without plastic straws. For years I've bought clear ones online (look a bit nicer than kids' ones). Since the straw ban they've got more expensive and now they've disappeared If your environmentalism only affects disabled people, it's not as progressive as you think

Emma is very lovely and easy to chat to, please consider getting involved if you can! She's doing brilliant work!

This describes the isolation of living with ME so well. My house and my therapists office have become my entire world. Sometimes it's hard to remember what else is out there!

Petition: Urgent funding for research into Long Covid and ME/CFS treatments and cures petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6305…

ME is the disease where pushing harder can make you sicker. And millions more are getting ME following #COVID19. Will you #LearnFromME on #WorldMEDay this May 12th? Find out more at worldmeday.org

Having a long term illness with no treatment, cure or known cause is weird. You're expected to just live in pain everyday and deal with it alone because there's no funding, research or understanding. It's terrifying and lonely #MECFS

I've felt guilty not doing as much as I used to, but am slowly accepting that I'm currently too unwell and that's okay. I'm sharing this in case anyone can relate or needs to also hear this. 3/3

I've had to re evaluate what I spent time on. I want to do more but physically can't, and at this point in time I need to focus on things that are supporting my wellbeing. I'll still be posting my mh art over on Instagram (same username) 2/3

I've decided to take a break for a while from 'direct' activism to look after my mental health. Since my friend took their life after being failed by services, I just can't bring myself to engage without distress. That and M.E leaving me with a few hours of energy a week 1/3

@PrideCaf @TransPrideSW Hi I'm a non-binary artist! I have a zine on non-binary identities on my etsy HumanSightings, and some pronoun pins 😊 etsy.com/uk/shop/HumanS…

Does anyone know of a service that offers one-off support worker hiring? I need support for about 2-3 hours to get to an outdoor funeral safely, but google isn't being very helpful. (Help needed with navigating and travelling safely and not being alone/anxiety reasons)

@paedsnursebeth I think we're all having a collective nightmare!

I lost a friend today. Services failed them, like so many before and so many after if nothing changes. I won't stop fighting for change.

It's ironic to see services posting bright graphics saying "just ask for help" when in reality people are screaming for help, but they're deemed not ill enough, too unwell, a frequent flyer or not cooperative enough to help. People are dying because of budget cuts and tickboxes

An appointment I've been desperately waiting for has been cancelled with no reschedule due to the Queens death. Its pretty ironic that they're honouring someone dying by cancelling NHS appointment that we seriously need. Waiting lists can't afford even a day less.

We need to talk about Chris Kaba. ⬇ (1/3)
