End Social Care Disgrace

14/07/2025

📰 “Disabled people are better off on benefits.”
We’ve seen the headlines.
We’ve felt the fallout.
I’m a disabled person on Universal Credit and PIP — and I would give anything to go back to the life I had before illness. But I didn’t choose this. What I did choose was to speak out.
Because the harm of these headlines goes far beyond the page — into policy, prejudice, and everyday abuse.

**Image Description:**

A lively protest scene takes place in front of a historic-looking building with columns and a curved facade, The protesters are gathered to demand justice and reforms in the social care system.

In the foreground, three individuals are holding a large purple-and-white banner that reads:

**"End Social Care Disgrace"**
*Campaign for a National Care, Support and Independent Living Service*
**"NOT FOR PROFIT, FREE AND FAIR, with choice and control, dignity not despair"**

The banner is supported by various union logos including **NHS Workers Say No, NPC, GMB, UNISON, UCU, Reclaim Social Care,** and others.

Two purple flags with similar messages and logos are being held high on each side. The flags read “End Social Care Disgrace” and include a megaphone symbol and campaign text.

To the left, another group holds a red banner that reads:

**"SAVE LEWISHAM HOSPITAL"**
**KeepOurNHSPublic**

Several of the protestors wear t-shirts with the same purple slogan, and there is a strong sense of unity and purpose. Other signs visible in the background express support for NHS workers. The mood is determined, peaceful, and resolute, set against a cloudy London sky.
