Disability Rights UK Seeks Community Input for Next Five-Year Strategy
Summary
Disability Rights UK is developing its next five-year strategy and is inviting input from Disabled people to ensure the strategy reflects their insights, experiences, and ambitions. The organization notes that the current goals were created in a very different political and social climate, and that the landscape for Disabled people has changed significantly. This is framed as an opportunity to listen and shape the future direction of the organization, rather than a tick-box exercise.
