Dairy of a goldfish - Blogging Against Disablism Day
Personal blog with a twist. Blogging Against Disablism Day is an annual event in which disabled and non-disabled bloggers throughout the world unite in the cause of equality.

Disability Benefits
Our aim is to carry as much information as possible to help people with disabilities, their carers and families, by providing details of the benefits available to them from the DSS, the Benefits Agency, & War Pensions, to businesses that cater for the disabled such as Holiday tour operators, hotels, restaurants, equipment and service providers etc. In addition there are many Charities and Organisations that can be of assistance to people that are disabled, who may possibly be able to help in so many different ways.
