KCIL recently supported in the creation of the report 'Health and care needs of physically Disabled adults'.

Social isolation is a significant issue for many disabled adults, with higher rates of loneliness reported compared to their non-disabled counterparts. Social isolation can have a profound impact on mental and physical health. Healthwatch Kingston spoke to local physically disabled adults to find out more about the obstacles they face in participating in the local community. Local disabled residents reported back that inaccessible public transport, poor communication of what is available and stigma are just some of the factors that limit their ability to be part of the local Kingston community.
