We actively campaign on behalf of disabled people, their families and carers.
We campaign and lobby on a wide range of issues including:
We are a member-led, representative organisation.
- Equal rights
- Social Care
- Employment & training
- Health
- Housing
- Independent Living
- Families & carers
We contribute to both national and local debates and consultations that affect people with disabilities.
Locally, we are asked by the Council and Health Authority etc for feedback on their plans, policies and strategies that affect disabled people and their carers.
Nationally, we do this by being members of Scope’s and Royal Mencap’s campaigns networks and the Choice Forum.
We let people know by including information in the Bulletin, via our new website and by email. This means that you can feed into national and local campaigns and consultations.
We also have staff, trustees, members and volunteers who are members of groups and consultative forums like the Partnership Board, Carers Forum and Mobility Forum.
We also work closely with other voluntary sector organisations like
- Burgess Autistic Trust
- Bromley Mind
- Nash College/Livability
as many of our members have more than one disability/impairment.
Here is a list of current issues we are working on and if you want to find out what Scope and Mencap are doing nationally you can go to their websites or contact the campaigns teams at Mencap
