🚨'Protect benefits to ensure Disabled people can be active' Article by @AllForActivity on the Activity Trap: the fear that increased activity could impact vital social security payments including PIP. Protect benefits, protect physical activity.

🚨NEW REPORT🚨 The Impact of Universal Credit Bill on Disabled People's Access to Physical Activity 77% of people we polled use their LCWRA benefits to pay for physical activity - benefit cuts will have devastating public health impacts. Full report👇

See here for more info on the work we are doing in the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin areas:

Our co-production lead Liddie, along with GYA programme manager Laura, recently attended the Telford & Wrekin Co-Production Conference alongside Energise Shropshire. A chance to learn more about co-production in the area and share our work for the 'GYA Local' project.

We are devastated to hear the Government's Universal Credit Bill has gone through. This will halve the UC health element for thousands of Disabled people, taking away £3,000 a year when they already cannot afford essentials. Disabled lives are more than numbers on a spreadsheet.

Ahead of Wednesday's vote, we'll continue our campaigning to get the Government to #BinUCBill, which would cut the Universal Credit health element in half, from £416 to just over £200. Disabled peoples' lives are not a cost-cutting exercise!

When done right, co-production can be hugely empowering for us. When we are given a voice in decision-making, everyone wins! 💬Hear Rachel, a member of our co-production Sounding Board, about how this process built up her self-esteem #CoProWeek2025

Why Co-Production Matters: Shaping Policy With Disabled People, Not For Them @DisRightsUK Chair, Liz Leach Murphy wrote this blog for #CoProdWeek2025 about the importance of co-production as a strategy. https://t.co/iy3rJWF1h7

When services are genuinely co-produced, they work better, because co-produced solutions make the most of the shared expertise of the professionals and the people who have direct experience of using them. Working in partnership can only be positive!
