We are so proud of Eden, who has been nominated as Volunteer of the Year in the @sensecharity awards! Eden brings so much dedication to LUNA and we are delighted her positive impact is being recognised for her roles outside of LUNA tooš„°
Eden was diagnosed with Long Covid in March 2022, which has had a significant effect on her mental and physical health

The amount of self-advocacy that disabled young people have to do to make ableist school systems work for them is huge. We hear time and time again from young people that getting reasonable adjustments implemented is often an unnecessarily arduous battle.

We asked the LUNA community What an Accessible Classroom Looks Like & here is what they said⦠There are a huge range of adaptations that make a learning space accessible for disabled individuals. Some are quick & easy to implement, others take a bit of creative thinking!

"I never knew anyone older than me who had a feeding tube, I wish Iād known that Iād still be able to follow my dreams when I was younger." This blog post is such an incredible read, and so powerful for young people to be able to see the possibilities amongst challenging health
For those of you who previously read my sonās blog, heās now updated it. If youāve never read it & are interested in the perspective of a young person who has been tube fed for 12 yrs & you are prepared for your assumptions to be challenged, read on.

The challenges faced by disabled students are many and multiple. You cannot think about each of these challenges in isolation, the cumulative impact on a young personās education experience can be substantial! #InclusiveEducation #DisabledStudent #University #Disability
