Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

Available for over a year

Kate Monaghan has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and endometriosis, whilst her wife Holly is the recipient of a kidney transplant and has been shielding since the start of the pandemic. Last spring Kate documented the personal reality of managing lockdown with the added complexity of being disabled, having a high risk family member and an energetic three-year-old daughter. This winter lockdown threatens to be even harder and as Kate's lockdown household grows we share the highs, lows and everything in-between! Produced by Amy Elizabeth.
