Make Me Prime Minister
Channel 4 recently aired a brand new series that aimed to lift the lid on what it’s like to be Prime Minister. The show included three candidates with hidden disabilities and health conditions, one of whom, Natalie Balmain, was elected Britain’s first alternative PM. Our writer, Zubee Kibria, interviews the winner about her career, the challenges she faces living with a health condition, and her experience staring on Make Me Prime Minister.
Carrying Drinks?
Carrying food and drinks can be challenging with limited mobility and dexterity issues. Thankfully, with the Tipsi Tray, a one-handed no spill tray, you can easily move cups, mugs, plates and crockery independently with no risk of dropping or spilling anything. Here, we share everything you need to know about the Tipsi Tray and how it is the best single-handed product for disabled people on the market.
Christmas Cards!
Alternative or traditional – there’s a seasonal greeting card for everyone on the Disability Horizons shop. All cards are designed and printed in the UK, and have been created by people who are disabled, have a long-term health condition or a connection to disability.
