In the latest edition of Access Online we have highlighted our new campaign group 'Harrow Campaigns' and detailed our first campaign called 'Project PEEPs' - sometimes accessibility means life or death. PEEP is an acronym for Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan.
The aim of a PEEP is to provide people who cannot get themselves out of a building unaided with the necessary information and assistance to be able to manage their escape to a place of safety and to ensure that the correct level of assistance is always available.
To get involved or for more information please email harrowcampaigns@had.org.uk

I just finished reading the article on website and it really opened my eyes to grassroots disability advocacy. I love how this online magazine highlights real campaigns like Project PEEPs, which shows how something as “technical” as an emergency evacuation plan can literally be a matter of life or death for people with mobility needs. The issue also includes accessible housing, transport barriers, neurodiversity and social care topics buy window film — things often overlooked in everyday discussions but so important in real lives. It made me appreciate the tireless work of organisations like HAD to give voices to disabled people and push for change. Simple, clear, and full of purpose — this piece reminded me why advocacy matters.
