Language; terminology; I have a question.
A public and government funded service (public but not in health care area), offers discounts to people "in need". My quotation marks. They use this phrase a few times in their publicity and yet they don't say who is eligible so it sounds very arbitrary. I queried it with them, they missed the point but that was the…

🌈 How to be a better ally for LGBTQ+ and disabled people 🌈
LGBTQ+ disabled people are immensely marginalised within society, with experiences and voices often overlooked. Often facing discrimination against both elements of identity, means facing numerous barriers and adversity in everyday life.

WW3 ?

Reactive Hypoglycemia
Does anyone have reactive hypoglycemia as one of their health issues. If so, do they get any support from NHS. I pay to see someone privately from time to time. G.p. practice says they do not cover it. Wondered if there was any NHS support as well as private. Thank you Everyone
