“As men, there’s this unspoken rule that vulnerability is weakness, that spirituality is soft, but I’ve come to see that it’s in our willingness to go inward that we find real strength.”

The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. This includes those using guide dogs, yet the BBC's Sean Dilley has had hundreds of incidents of refusal of service, and online abuse and threats when he speaks out.

It's illegal under the Equality Act 2010 for shops and restaurants to refuse entry to blind and partially sighted people with guide dogs.
Yet three quarters of blind and partially sighted people are experiencing refusals, in places like fast-food outlets, taxis, hotels and pubs.

Initially designed not to be accessible for those with non standard bikes or a disability that stops them using the infrastructure. Local authorities need to brush up on the equality act 2010 and design inclusive cycle and pedestrian routes that everyone can use.
Cycle infrastructure needs to be designed for all cyclists - not just the able-bodied.

We don't think it should work that way. You shouldn't have to fight for things that laws have already been passed to protect. Our aim is to raise the profile of the Equality Act 2010, to educate and inform, so people know what their rights are, and to provide tools to help them exercise those rights

The Equality Act 2010 was created to protect the rights and dignity of vulnerable minorities. For 15 years it's existed on paper, but is essentially a choice whether organisations adhere to it.
