Broken Systems, Real Lives
Adult Social Care. Access to Work. Postcode lotteries. Endless paperwork. Delayed support. It’s the reality for too many disabled people in the UK.

In this episode, I speak with Luis, a fierce disability advocate and founder of Unstoppable Living. Drawing on his own experiences, Luis shares what it’s like to navigate these broken systems, and what it would take to build support that’s dignified, timely, and equitable.

We cover:

  • The emotional and logistical nightmare of social care
  • The postcode lottery and why local authority matters
  • The truth about Access to Work delays and who they hurt most
  • What change could look like and where to start

This conversation is raw, informed, and rooted in lived experience.
