Two fantastic opportunities to join the Disability North team ! disabilitynorth.org.uk/about-us/dn-jo…

Solidarity with Jamie Hale, who was on BBC Breakfast this morning alongside Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People speaking about his appalling treatment at a recent graduation ceremony. Sadly this is far from a once off - it’s deeply systemic When will institutions recognise their Equality Act obligations..?

Today we are facilitating a focus group for Not North East Ambulance Service to look at access to 999 services for those who use powered wheelchairs.

Over the next 5 years we have ambitious plans to restore The Dene Centre, an incredibly exciting prospect, starting with the roof! We are looking to raise an additional £50k. Can you help ? justgiving.com/campaign/upont… building on the incredible history! #sponsoraslate #raisetheroof

.Rachel Reeves if you want a #Budget24 that supports disabled people into work, invest in services, invest in accessible housing: Disabled people living in accessible homes are 4 times more likely to be employed. Read DPCG’s pre-budget statement here: inclusionlondon.org.uk/news/pre-budge…

We are one of the community organisations supporting North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust to ensure its engagement with the public on its clinical strategy. To get involved visit disabilitynorth.org.uk/other-services…

Great opportunity to join the team!

.Rachel Reeves Equipment for mobility & health, plus heating to stay well means higher bills for Disabled people. Use #Budget2024 to fund an energy social tariff targeted at Disabled people with high energy costs. Read DPCG’s pre-budget statement here: disabilityrightsuk.org/news/pre-budge…

.Rachel Reeves Some Disabled people are unable to work. That doesn’t make us less valuable as people. In #budget2024 we need your support, not to be attacked. Read our DPCG pre-budget statement: disabilityrightsuk.org/news/pre-budge…

Closing date 4 November ! Be part of a fantastic team.

Chaotic, rushed-through concessions drawn up on the back of a napkin are no way to make policy that will affect millions of people. MPs must vote NO on benefit cuts, and work with Disabled people to coproduce reforms to welfare that help Disabled people instead of punishing us.

The welfare bill would still force 50,000 people into poverty – we must remove the cuts entirely ✍️ Neil Duncan-Jordan MP politicshome.com/opinion/articl…

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 UN criticises Starmer's benefit cuts, warning that measures will 'increase poverty rates' As MPs go to vote for the final time later today, the bill is receiving international criticism from the United Nations news.sky.com/story/un-criti…

We ask all MP’s to vote against the Universal Credit (PIP) Bill. It is condemned by: All Deaf & Disabled People’s Organisations All Major Charities All Human Rights orgs All Anti Poverty orgs The United Nations. The DWP’s Bill is simply the wrong policy approach.

Every Disabled organisation is against this bill. Slashing the Universal Credit health element in half, pushing more Disabled people is unconscionable - especially when the Government could easily tax the rich. ❌MPs must vote against the bill today! #BinUCBill

This is so important! The concessions have not fixed the bill and we stand with other DPOs in asking MPs to vote against the bill.

🚨 We’re shocked and disappointed. The UK government has pushed through HUGE cuts to Universal Credit for disabled people applying in the future. These cuts will be devastating. They risk pushing even more disabled people to food banks.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 The Government's Universal Credit Bill has passed, rushing it through in one day, without a committee stage where Disabled people's voices could have been heard. It's clear: the government views Disabled lives as nothing more than a cost-cutting exercise
