The Unpaid Break Controversy

In many UK workplaces, employees are expected to work an 8-hour day, yet only receive payment for 7 of those hours due to an unpaid break. While this practice is legally permissible under the Working Time Regulations 1998, it raises serious questions about fairness, autonomy, and potential human rights violations, especially when employers go a step further and dictate what an employee can or cannot do during their unpaid time.

Big Pharma, Pharmacies, and Sustainable Packaging

In an era where innovation is at the forefront of healthcare, one fundamental aspect remains overlooked: accessibility and sustainability in pharmaceutical packaging.

Proving Pain for PIP Eligibility

For millions of people in the UK living with chronic pain, applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can feel like a battle against an invisible enemy. Pain, especially when it’s invisible or fluctuating, is difficult to measure, explain, and prove.

How To Deal With People With Ableist Attidudes

Living with an invisible disability is a silent struggle, one that is often met with doubt, judgment, and unsolicited advice. The absence of visible symptoms often leads others, sometimes even friends or family, to minimise or dismiss the very real impact such conditions have on daily life. This ableist mindset can be harmful, especially when it’s cloaked in “concern” or feigned expertise.

Raynaud’s Disease and PIP Eligibility

Raynaud’s disease (also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon or syndrome) is a circulatory condition that affects blood flow to certain parts of the body, usually the fingers and toes.

How to Start a Business From Scratch

There has never been a more empowering time to start a business from scratch, especially if you are long-term unemployed, disabled, or seeking independence from a system that doesn’t always serve you. With government policy actively encouraging people to return to work, including those who face barriers due to disability or health, starting your own business can be a powerful, self-directed solution. You gain not only control over your income and routine but also protection from benefit sanctions, while still receiving financial support as you build your dream from the ground up.
