I joined Meryl’s Comedy Writing course to explore stand-up, as my material lacked structure and confidence.
With her guidance, I found my voice and clarity. The skills boosted my public speaking too, adding humour to my talks.

The Northern Ireland Disability Strategy is just warm words with no action.
No commitments, no accountability, and a fake co-design process that shut disabled people out.
We deserve more than a brochure.

Real progress starts when lived experience leads.
Disabled people deserve equal treatment, not tokenism.

BBC Nolan’s Motability segment was built on falsehoods and stereotypes. Disabled people deserve better.
We’re calling on everyone — disabled people and allies alike — to send a complaint to the BBC.

This is an extremely dangerous policy that the Department of Health is seeking to implement.
The UK and Stormont needs to reset how they treat their disabled and carers citizens.
We must oppose this policy.

The Department of Health's Reset Plan suggests home care charges.
DPAC NI urges Mike Nesbitt to scrap this harmful idea. It punishes disabled people & undermines rights.
We demand dignity, not debt.

It’s Day 4 of #DisabilityPrideMonth. Blind, deaf & learning-disabled people are still excluded from jury duty in the UK & Ireland — not for lack of ability, but because the system wasn’t built for us. That’s not fair. It’s discrimination.
