Wendy Allsop- Not everyone can step up

This week on Tidy People, we talk to Wendy Allsop, a mum from Tonypandy who’s become an unexpected voice for accessibility and disability awareness.

After developing a mobility condition, Wendy began to notice just how many barriers exist in public spaces—blocked pavements, missing dropped kerbs, narrow shop doorways, and more. Her experiences inspired her to speak out and push for change.

She shares why accessibility isn’t about convenience—it’s about dignity, belonging, and basic independence.

🎙️ Join us as Wendy talks about:

  • Life on a mobility scooter in the Valleys
  • The challenges of everyday access
  • Why awareness and kindness matter
  • Her message: “Not everyone can step up”

A must-listen for anyone who wants to build a more inclusive community.

 

Yr wythnos hon ar Tidy People, rydyn ni'n siarad â Wendy Allsop, mam o Donypandy sydd wedi dod yn llais annisgwyl dros hygyrchedd ac ymwybyddiaeth o anabledd.

Ar ôl datblygu cyflwr symudedd, dechreuodd Wendy sylwi ar y rhwystrau niferus sy'n bodoli mewn mannau cyhoeddus – palmentydd wedi'u blocio, cyrbiau sydd ddim yn gostwng,  drysau siopau cul, a mwy. Fe wnaeth ei phrofiadau ei hysbrydoli i godi llais a phwyso am newid.

Mae hi'n rhannu'r rhesymau pam mae hygyrchedd yn fwy na dim ond cyfleustra - mae'n ymwneud ag urddas, perthyn, ac annibyniaeth sylfaenol.

🎙️ Ymunwch â ni wrth i Wendy siarad am:

  • Fywyd ar sgwter symudedd yn y Cymoedd
  • Heriau mynediad bob dydd
  • Pam mae ymwybyddiaeth a charedigrwydd yn bwysig
  • Ei neges: “Dyw pawb ddim yn gallu camu ymlaen”

Gwrando hanfodol i unrhyw un sydd eisiau adeiladu cymuned fwy cynhwysol.
