Love to see this. 💜💚 Last month @mea_bc held the 1st meeting of their new Disability Lived Experience Group. It brought together local residents who will use their lived experiences to shape council services and make their borough more accessible and inclusive.
I’m proud to be part of the @mea_bc Disability Lived Experience Group. and excited about what we can achieve together in helping make Mid and East Antrim a more accessible, inclusive & welcoming place for everyone.
