On Your Behalf: Disability Rights, Consumer Protection and Volunteering

15/06/2024

Disability Rights, Consumer Protection and Volunteering

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Disability Rights, Consumer Protection and Volunteering

Disability rights, consumer protection and volunteering.

This week we look at Disability rights and wrongs because over the decades we’ve covered all sorts of issues from travel rights and responsibilities, to facilities and support for autistic children and how passengers and their guide dogs and people who use wheel chairs are treated. Agnes Lunny from Positive Futures and Nuala Tolman from Disability Action are in the studio.

Funerals – one listener alerted us to how heartless scamsters are using death notices to con people into making a donation – a donation that goes straight into the fraudsters' pockets

We're also talking about safe ways to pay – And asking why PayPal refused to refund a listener when the boots he'd ordered didn't arrive. Consumer Expert Martyn James helps us stay safe online.

And the student who’s been paying O2 for two phones - when she only has one!

Linda also travels to Magherafelt to meet the Mid Ulster volunteers who tell her why they do it and encourage her to join them!
