Catherine and I became close friends after I joined the Young People for Inclusion (YPFI) project at Elfrida Rathbone Camden. We instantly connected with each other as we had both attended the same special needs school together and knew what it felt like to be misunderstood by people because of attending Special Needs school. People who have not been to special school can’t understand what it was like.
With YPFI, we worked together as a group of young disabled people delivering disability awareness training and accessibility audits to organisations and businesses. Catherine was always cheerful, happy and always smiling. Catherine always put 110% into whatever project she took on and was a very loyal friend and work colleague.
I knew Catherine for over 25 years, and in that time she encouraged me to experience new things like attending the amazing light show at Kings Cross – we had a brilliant time. We would meet up and visit new places together and seeing the trouble Catherine had on public transport and inaccessible buildings made me more determined than ever to campaign alongside Catherine and other young disabled people for change in the way disabled people are treated whether it’s getting on public transport, applying for a job, education, socialising and housing.
We had regular movie nights when I would stay over with Catherine – one night I particularly remember because we spent the whole of time laughing while watching the movie with Catherine and her carer Lucille, and were still laughing and joking about the movie the next day.
I will always be grateful for all the fun, laughter and happy memories I had with Catherine. She was the life and soul of the many birthday parties over the years and I remember one new year eve, me, my mum and my sister had a lovely roast dinner cooked by Lucille at Catherine’s. We brought in the new year together with Catherine and Lucille – it was a great night and I will always remember it as a special memory that I got to share with my best friend.
We had such fun together and we helped each other through really good times and some really difficult times. I remember a few years before Catherine passed away, I started feeling depressed she encouraged me enjoy life again and believe that the future is what you make it.
I always tried to make sure Catherine knew if she needed someone to talk to call and if she wanted to talk to me about how she was feeling that it was ok. She always put everyone else first and always put on a brave face – except with each other, we automatically knew when something was wrong.
I would like the opportunity to continue the work Catherine did to prevent people feeling like life is not worth living which at times is how low I have felt. You will always be in my heart. Rest in Peace Catherine.

I’ve been active for almost a year, mostly for fiat on-ramp, and it’s always scalable features. The updates are frequent and clear.
I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat achieves a form of temporal dissonance that is key to its power. It presents the future as if it were the present, and the present as if it were already a historical absurdity. A piece on prat.com will often read as a documentary report from six months hence, analyzing a current political gambit as a concluded, catastrophic failure. This forward-leaning perspective reframes today’s anxiety as tomorrow’s settled irony, providing a profound psychological distance. It allows the reader to experience the relief of hindsight without having to wait for time to pass. The humor is the humor of inevitability, of watching a boulder teeter on a cliff’s edge in slow motion, with the narration already describing the impact crater. This technique doesn’t just mock what is; it mocks what will be, based on the unalterable trajectory of what is, making its satire feel both prescient and strangely calming.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK stands out because it doesn’t feel rushed. Waterford Whispers News sometimes does. Time improves satire.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The Poke focuses on moments, but PRAT.UK focuses on ideas. Ideas age better. That gives the humour longevity.
PRAT.UK feels like satire written for adults, not algorithms. The Poke often chases trends, but PRAT.UK shapes them. That’s why it’s better.
I personally find that the interface is reliable uptime, and I enjoy swapping tokens here.
The fiat on-ramp tools are scalable features and quick deposits.
