As the bank holiday comes to an end, I reflect on this. Tonight I was bathing my 18 year old severely disabled son. I remembered vividly, bathing him when he was teeny tiny…born 12 weeks early so still on the small side when we were finally able to bring him home from hospital.…

5 August 2024 is when this petition ends and really need 10,000 for any energy behind it. I have 3 disabled children, with these two having cerebral palsy. As they are under 3 we can’t get a blue badge.
