A disabled activist who was born completely blind has made a powerful call for change as he said: "It's our environment that disables us."
Tom Walker, 58, from Toxteth, is a podcaster and part-time Radio Merseyside reporter who lends his voice to the struggles of other visually impaired and disabled people as they try to adapt to a world which was not made for them.
He said: "It's very important that we don't depict disability as some kind of misfortune. It's just the way it is. We all have challenges, and the way I think of disability is that it presents us with environmental and social challenges.
