Award-winning journalist from Liverpool fighting prejudice and discrimination towards the disabled.

After gaining adequate experience in this area, I decided to form my own company called Prabhu Ventures Ltd and focus on producing similar stories surrounding disability, equality and diversity issues. I have gained substantial experience in journalism through my own company and this has led me to win several awards including the Freelance Journalist Of The Year award for the past six years.

There are many misconceptions that the public has about disability. These include thinking that all disabilities are visible although according to the latest statistics, there are an estimated 70-85% of disabled people having hidden disabilities. This can include people who experience symptoms such as chronic pain, neurodivergence, autism, and mental health issues significantly impact day-to-day life but do not feature obvious outward physical signs. It can also include people who are partially sighted who have learned to adapt their lives to living with their disability

There are also beliefs that disabled people are overestimating financial support.

I ensure that the voices of disabled people remain central to the stories I produce as I have a lot of experience working along side disabled people. This helps me to empathise with the issues they face and know what elements are important. It also helps me to remain objective and look at both sides when producing the stories I publish.

I am looking for people with the following stories to share:

A disabled entrepreneur running a successful business.

Someone who started travelling solo after becoming disabled.

A disabled athlete training for a competition.

A parent living with a disability.

The realities of dating and relationships with a disability. Invisible disabilities and how they affect everyday life

Young disabled people navigating university or their first job.

Disabled content creators using social media to challenge stereotypes.

People who acquired a disability later in life and had to reinvent themselves.

Assistive technology that has transformed someone's independence.

Fashion, beauty, and disability –adaptive clothing, confidence, and representation

Disabled people pursuing unusual hobbies such as scuba diving, sailing, painting, or performing arts.

Get ready to rewind the clock and relive the golden age of dance music at BBC Radio 2 Dance Sounds of the 90s: The Live Tour with Vernon Kay. Set to deliver an electrifying celebration of the unforgettable music, fashion and rave culture that defined a generation, and packed with iconic tunes, infectious energy and pure feel-good nostalgia, the tour promises audiences the ultimate throwback night out

From house phones and Sega Megadrives to Sony Discmans and legendary all-night raves in fields, Vernon Kay will take fans on a euphoric trip back to the decade when dance music ruled the airwaves and every weekend felt unforgettable.

Expect wall-to-wall anthems from some of the greatest artists of the era including The Shamen, The Prodigy, Snap!, Underworld, JX and Ultra Naté, the soundtrack to one of the most exciting decades in music history.

Best known for presenting the UK's biggest radio show - Radio 2’s hugely

popular weekday mid-morning show and the fan-favourite Dance Sounds of the 90s, Vernon Kay has become one of the UK’s most loved broadcasters thanks to his quick wit, infectious enthusiasm and genuine connection with listeners. Now, he’s swapping the studio for the stage to bring the spirit of the 90s to life in venues around the country

Joining Vernon on the tour will be special guest DJ Darren Noguerol, whose feel-good party sets, crowd-pleasing energy and love of classic dance music make him the perfect warm-up for an unforgettable night of nostalgia and celebration.

Vernon Kay said: “The 90s was one of the best loved decades when it came to music. Britpop and dance music came together to create an energy that the youth of its time attached itself to and created mayhem on the dance floors.

Now more than 30 years on, Britpop is still as energetic as it was and dance music has come full circle, with kids today hearing samples from the tunes that originally rocked dance floors back in the 1990s. 2 Oct 2026

WALK FOR WELLBEING 2026

UK charity Hospitality Action’s annual fundraising event, Walk for Wellbeing, will return to Liverpool in October 2026 for its biggest year yet bringing together hospitality professionals from across the region in support of wellbeing across the industry.

The event creates space for conversations around wellbeing that are often difficult to have in busy hospitality environments, while also raising vital funds for Hospitality Action’s support services. We’re expecting another great turnout this year and hope to see teams and individuals from across the region getting involved.

NO THEY ARE NOT SPRAYING THE CLOUDS

There’s a particular type of conversation that tends to appear whenever you look up at a slightly dramatic sky. You could be minding your own business, enjoying a bit of sunshine, when someone gestures upward with the confidence of a seasoned meteorologist and says: “See that? They’re spraying the clouds again.” And just like that, you’re no longer looking at weather You’re apparently witnessing a live episode of Stranger Things with zero plot, no evidence, and a very committed supporting cast of conspiracy theorists. Let’s talk about the mysterious “they” Never named. Never identified. Just a floating, shapeless group of sky villains with apparently unlimited aviation budgets and absolutely no interest in being subtle

Who are “they”?

Scientists? Busy trying to get grant funding for, you know, actual research.

Airlines? On average 110,000 flights per day crowding our skies

Here's the science: Planes fly through cold, high-altitude air. Exhaust comes out.

Water vapour and tiny particles can form.

and humidity. That’s what creates those white lines you see. Sometimes they disappear quickly, sometimes they linger and spread. Then they drift and fade. Just physics quietly doing its job while people on the ground are inventing a Netflix conspiracy series in real time. That's it. It’s just the atmosphere doing atmospheric things Social media is the great amplifier of conspiracy theories. Always with zero scientific input but maximum confidence.

Cloud seeding does exist and is carefully planned, weatherdependent, and targeted at specific regions with a clear purpose, usually related to water supply or drought management. It’s typically carried out in coordinated programmes by governments or research bodies, often in inland or mountainous areas where rainfall can be influenced more effectively and where water storage like reservoirs can benefit. Contrary to popular opinion, it isn't done over Sefton Park or Benidorm. The sky isn't randomly sprayed to cause rain and make you more miserable than you already are. Where cloud seeding is used, it’s selective, conditional, and logistical and mostly done in China and the USA and very rarely across Europe. People's lives are so boring they're looking for drama and so make up theories that the

Men in Black Men in Black are controlling the skies. The sky does not need help being dramatic or interesting It already can turn blue to grey in 10 minutes and create sunsets that look like an oil painting had an emotional breakdown.

And occasionally frighten everyone just for fun If anything, it should be charged for its theatrics. Next time someone points at the sky and confidently declares that they are spraying it, you can smile politely or change the subject.

Because, Brenda, I’m sure the entire global aviation industry isn't personally targeting your postcode to make it rain just because you've hung your washing out

You invest time and energy into so many things that matter to you. Your love life deserves the same.
