FED unveils Countability research report
The groundbreaking Countability research report is now available to download here. The research examines disabled people's experiences of issues including transport and getting around, health and social care, housing, community participation, crime and safety, employment and volunteering, finance and benefits.
we look forward to working with service providers through our get involved project to discuss how we can address the issues raised in the research. If you would like to contribute your views or would take part in our get involved project please get in touch on 01273 296747.
FED launches City Survey
The Embrace Information Project is gathering information about groups, clubs and social activities on offer in your area. We aim to produce a website, searchable by postcode, which will show people all the great stuff happening in your neighbourhood.
If you are involved, support or attend a group such a lunch club, coffee morning or arts group in your area we’d love to hear from you.
Call us on 01273 208934 and tell us all about what you do! We will advertise your activity on our website for FREE!
Or you can tell us about your group and activity here http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CKL798P (external link)- it will take about 10 minutes!
