An estimated 5,000 disabled people, family members and supporters marched in London yesterday to take part in the Hardest Hit march and lobby of Parliament to protest against government cuts to benefits and services.

A very big thank you and congratulations to all the runners who took part in the 2011 Virgin London Marathon for Sense on Sunday.

Sense, the leading deafblind charity, is pleased to announce the appointment of Gillian Morbey as Chief Executive. Gill has been interim CEO since October 2010.

To celebrate ten years of the deafblind guidance, ten deafblind people visited Number 10 Downing Street.

Disabled people, and those with mobility problems, across the European Union have won important new rights to travel on buses and coaches.

Mumsnet and the EDCM (Every Disabled Child Matters Campaign) have joined forces to ensure that families of disabled children get the support the need.

The government have indicated they will undertake a review of the decision to remove the mobility compoment from DLA.

There was cool fun and frolics at the Eden Project over the weekend when a group of Truro youngsters took to the ice in their wheelchairs.

Key messages in the government’s flagship Welfare Reform Bill represent a major assault on the incomes and independence of working age blind, partially sighted and other disabled people.

Sense is concerned that the government's Education Bill will push disabled children into the margins.
