This one-day community conference is being organized by disabled people.
We take a broad view of what disability means, and we include people with
learning disabilities, any type of impairment or with mental health
problems.
We are providing a chance for disabled people to get together and discuss
how we have been affected by the cuts, or how we fear we will be affected.
It is also a chance to look at ways for our Movement to go forward. Allies
are also welcome but are encouraged to book closer to the date to give
disabled people a chance to book tickets first.
The day will feature four interactive workshops, and a speaker from Leeds
Centre For Disability Studies. Proposals for workshops are being accepted
until the 16th of February. Please contact the organisers for more
details.
Food will be served and there will be a chill out room as well as the main
workshop space.
There is space for a maximum of 80 participants.
Book your place by emailing greta.w.schultz@gmail.com or phoning 07445481452.
Please state your name, how many tickets you require and any access
requirements or dietary requirements that the organizers will need to know
about.
There is a suggested donation of between £5 and £20 per person. Those who
cannot afford this are welcome to attend for free.
