‘The hardest hit’

Hilary Davies explains what you can do to help

Friends in York and Cambridge have written of their concern about the impact of welfare cuts on the lives of people who are disabled and their families. I share this concern.  There are many additional threats ahead for disabled people. The Welfare Reform Bill, currently going through the committee stage in parliament, could undermine the hard-won sense of being valued, and the independence of people in this vulnerable group, if it is implemented without significant changes.
