Participating in Society

Monday 26 October 2020, Noon - 1pm

Next Spring, the government will publish its National Disability Strategy. The Conservative Party pledged to create a strategy in its 2019 Election Manifesto.

We want to make sure that the government hears the voices of disabled people, including those they don’t normally hear from. Our autumn programme of roundtable events are your opportunity to have your say on a range of issues. We will be collating what you tell us into a submission to government, as well as to influence our work as the UK’s leading national disabled persons’ user-led organisation.

This roundtable discussion will be about taking part in broader society. That can include making and meeting friends, taking part in hobbies, sports or physical activities, or in artistic activities. We want to know what kind of changes you would like to see in the world, to make it easier to be included in broader society.
