Hi everyone.

I'm a 48 year old dog mum and metalhead from Lincolnshire. I have CP, deafness and a dislocated hip. Basically housebound and struggling with life at the moment.

Looking to start a non profit to help advocate for a change in attitudes towards the sexual and intimate needs of disabled people. Especially in regard to Domiciliary carers and the infantalising and disregard we disabled folks are often subjected to, in regard to our intimate experiences and emotional needs.

Glad to meet you all xx
