Accessibility isn’t a tick‑box; it’s a lived experience. Our trustee Abul reviewed Oxford Station and shared what would make it more welcoming: a bigger lift and a quiet room for anyone who needs a calm space. At My Life My Choice, we keep pushing for better access. Join us and raise your voice.

Many people with learning disabilities can’t use their bus passes before 9am, meaning they’re blocked from getting to work, college, day centres or appointments on time. Our members say this isn’t fair. We’re calling on Oxfordshire County Council to change the rule. 👉 c.org/DpxRfYGD66
