It’s #OCDAwarenessWeek an often misunderstood condition. It’s not just being "neat" or "a clean freak" it can involve distressing & unwanted thoughts/compulsions that interfere with daily life often in silence. Let’s challenge the stigma & support one another. #OCD #MentalHealth

“When I questioned the kitchen’s accessibility, I was told that I did not need it as my parents would do everything for me” – Richmond resident. 40 years is not a waiting list, it’s a life sentence. Everyone deserves safety, dignity & independence at home. #AccessibleHousing
🗣️"The waiting list for a new-build wheelchair accessible home is currently 40 years. If you don't live in an accessible home as a Disabled person, it's a dangerous home, and a dangerous home you could be living in for 40 years." DR UK's Mikey speaking to @CommonsHCLG 👇
