Opening up our bid writing process
Most of eQuality Time’s projects need grant funding to run. So we’re keen to get good at writing grant applications. We also want to be as transparent as possible. We decided to bring these things together. This blog post was created to document the process of applying to Virgin’s #iwill Take Action fund with the […]
On Writing Prompts
I was asked for my thoughts on the writing prompts we use in the White Water Writers project today, and rather than write a long email I thought I’d write a medium blog post. For our writing projects, we start from three different places, depending on the situation. I want to talk about the advantages […]
Uber signs up.
Uber’s highly controversial approach splits people, even within disability – I know people who depend on it, and people who are unable to use it because of the accessibility of the cars. I think that a lot of the decisions made by Uber are wrong – I also think some of them are relics of a […]

The event was hosted by the Accelerated Education Working Group (AEWG), which is made up of education partners working in Accelerated Education (AE). The AEWG is currently led by UNHCR, with representatives from UNICEF, UNESCO, USAID, ECCN, NRC, Plan, IRC, Save the Children, and War […]

Every year, people (mostly from reddit, it turns out) pledge bunches of flowers to be placed at Alan Turing’s statue in Manchester for his birthday. In the process we raise money for the amazing […]

ICE cards
We’ve added ICE cards to the CommuniKate website. In case of emergency (ICE) cards fold up nicely to fit in a pocket and are used, as the name suggests for emergency situations like a medical problem. The normal CK20 content has been altered to put medical matters first. You can access them either at […]
CommuniKate has a translation page!
The CommuniKate project now has a translation page – helped considerably by people like Jaroslav Ryní who patiently asked lots of questions that really should have already been on the website. We’ve strengthened the support and mechanism for anyone who wants to translate the CK20 pageset. If you fancy getting involved, or know someone who could […]
