A disabled woman has told how she "cries at night" due to loneliness as she attempts to highlight how difficult it can be to get out and meet people.
Gina Patel, 28, who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, said that using a wheelchair is a reason why it is difficult to socialise.
According to the charity Sense, almost two-thirds of disabled people (61%) are now chronically lonely - raising concerns of a significant increase in mental health conditions.
