💬 “I need support. I can't run my business without it.” ableMove founder, Josh, had his Access to Work support slashed by 80%. The scheme designed to remove barriers to employment now leaves his independence and his business at risk ⬇️ bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

The promise of the Access To Work scheme looks and sounds like the ultimate support for any potential Disabled employee or entrepreneur, but recent experiences paint a very different picture. Dan White delves into the "Best kept secret" of Government 👇 disabilityrightsuk.org/news/access-wo…

Disabled people have been targeted by consecutive govts since Blair. Culminating in increased poverty, a loss of £1,200 per year, since 2014. Homelessness for disabled households in England has risen by almost 75% since 2019. Thousands of deaths. Multiple UN reports. #Democide

Official government figures have shown the first signs that ministers have been engaged in a “perverse” programme to secretly restrict grants made by the Access to Work disability employment scheme. #AccessToWork #DWP disabilitynewsservice.com/government-fig…

The high success rate of our employment programme is something we're very proud of, but most of the disabled people we support in to work are only capable of doing so because they have PIP and Access to Work. They simply could not work without them and nor could we. #accesstowork
