Join the Campaign for Disability Justice to become part of the Disability movement and see their blog on how this can be a force for change.

Our connection to others gives us strength, purpose and a sense of belonging.

When we work and act together, we can do great things. And the decades-long disability movement has been and is an inspiring example of this. So many brilliant wins for Disabled people.

That’s why this campaign is so important. It’s a place where, together, we can roar for the change we need.

Read more about the disability movement as a force for change in our blog post and join the campaign.

Barnet is home to us all, we are one community of many peoples. Today’s horrific attack on local Jewish people isn’t the community Barnet is, or wants to be. We are one, and we will respond with the care, kindness and unity that are the hallmarks of our beautiful borough.

Our services remain open to serve our community.

Do you have experience of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)?

Join the over 10,000 people who’ve already responded to the Government call for evidence as part of its review of PIP.

The more people who respond to the call for evidence, the harder it will be for the Government to ignore Disabled people’s experiences and needs.

Important survey results from Campaign for Disability Justice about work capability assessments.

Thank you for taking part in our snap survey on work capability assessments.

The outcome of this ‘tick-box’ assessment can mean the difference between the higher rates of out-of-work benefits and often years of severe hardship.

Over half the survey respondents said that the medical and supporting evidence they submitted during the assessment was not accurately recorded.

We’ll be using your experiences to tell the true story in a mini campaign in the coming weeks.

We really hope you’ll get behind it.
