This #MDCember (see what we did there?!) we’d like to celebrate just some of the past year’s fantastic achievements. We really couldn’t do our vital work without you, our supporters, and each day will reveal another Muscular Dystrophy Campaign star. Thank you for your support, now and in the future. Wishing you all the very best this Christmas and New Year from everyone at the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.
Trailblazers campaign leads to real changes on transport
The charity’s network of young campaigners, the Trailblazers, have had an incredibly busy year. One recent campaign success can be seen in the Transport for London's introduction of posters that explain why wheelchairs users have priority access to shared spaces on buses. The new posters, combined with London's bus drivers using their PA system to ask other passengers to move aside, are improvements that Trailblazers campaigners have been calling for since 2009.
Read more about how Trailblazers worked with transport providers, parliamentarians, national and regional media organisations to bring about this important announcement, and check out their website for more information about the group, including how you can join.
