The rising cost of living is weighing heavily on everyone’s minds. The most basic things in life - heating, eating, travelling to work - are getting more expensive.
For many though, these costs are only one side of the coin. For people living with disabilities, simply to make it through the day, or to have any kind of independence, is a costly and increasingly anxious struggle.
Mobility scooters need charging. Stairlifts require lots of electricity. Home-based medical equipment can be extremely energy-intensive. Cheap forms of public transport are often out of the question. And reduced mobility can make it harder to shop around for cheap food options.
