This episode of the All 4 Inclusion Pod focuses on social housing for wheelchair users.
Wheelchairs users may make up 8% of the disability community, but accessible housing will make people feel less isolated.
Some of the benefits of adaptations to a property boost living standards for non disabled people and people with other disabilities to.
I can only share my personal lived experiences as a wheelchair user.
I also speak briefly with Alex and Haydn, Co Founders from Happy Smiles CIC who tell us a little bit about what Happy Smiles do to support the disabled community.

All 4 Inclusion presenter Kevin Daws catches up with Baroness Tanni Grey Thompson.

Kevin started interviewing people in written form to celebrate Disability History Month for All 4 Inclusion in October 2024. Following the success of these Interviews it was decided that we would continue these using our podcast and YouTube channel to present them.

You will also be able to catch up with them on our website too.

Baroness Tanni Grey Thompson has won 16 Paralympic medals, 11 of which are gold and won the London Marathon 6 times.

She played a big part in bringing London 2012 to reality for Paralympians.

Some may argue some of her biggest challenges have been away from sport. Battling society as a wheelchair user.

Born with Spina Bifida, Tanni had parents that pushed her to become the best version of herself that she could be and in turn encouraged her to help other disabled and non disabled people where possible.
