    In this episode of DHTV, Mik and Zec are joined by Kerry Thompson to discuss accessible Housing and how schemes like Habinteg are helping provide accessible social housing. Is your property accessible? if not, what are the barriers you face in your own home?
    This week, Mik and Zec are talking about a subject that simply cannot be ignored. Again the energy price 'cap' has increased and if it wasn't bad enough already, things have got a lot worse, you might even say they are deadly! The show did get a tad political, and it was not a balanced opinion, but we are teetering on the edge of a crisis that will cost lives and there is only one way to point the finger of blame! Read the Disability Horizons post on this crisis - https://disabilityhorizons.com/2022/08/the-cost-of-living-crisis-disabled-peoples-stories/ Links mentioned by Mik https://www.charityexcellence.co.uk/Home/BlogDetail?Link=Cost-Of_Living_Grant_Funding https://www.charityexcellence.co.uk/Home/BlogDetail?Link=Energy_Saving_Ideas_At_Work_And_Home
