Before Covid19 Disabled people were already at increased risk of social and financial exclusion. Covid19 presents increased and additional challenges to well-being and security among disabled people.
#IncreaseDisabilityBenefits
As I'm in self-isolation until this is over, I can't leave the garden so I'm going to be doing 260 star jumps a day for 26 days and may extend it to 260 days....
I will also draw/paint 26 self-isolation-related sketches/pictures and can send them to the first 26 people who donate if you would like them.
Messaging from DRUK:
"We're not stopping because of Coronavirus! In fact, we're working even harder than ever: 1. Standing up for disabled people's rights in the face of huge challenges to our well-being, worries about self-isolation and the shortage of carers and supplies. 2. As the only national organisation led by disabled people, putting our concerns strongly and directly to government, infrastructure and service providers, and medical and care regulators 3. Providing lifelines to disabled people across the country through our helplines, news updates and factsheets. 4. Lobbying the major supermarkets for priority shopping and online delivery slots for disabled customers. Whilst stretching every available resource to do this, we are facing a significant drop in fundraising and trading income. If ever you've considered donating to DR UK, this is the time! Thank you in advance for whatever you can afford to give. |
