What our users say “Having lived with a significant disability for many years I regard the Disabled. Go website as liberating – enabling me to plan ahead more confidently and with greater certainty as well as removing the stress that so often comes with getting out and about. " John Knight, UCLH patient governor “For me it's personal - having a daughter with disabilities means that I have experience of trying to navigate obstacles and challenges. Disabled. Go will make it so much easier and less stressful for me and everyone coming to UCLH as a patient, carer or visitor". Ros Jacobs, UCLH patient governor
