Protest against cuts to benefits and services for disabled people

Posted: 21st April 2011 by admin in Events

With all of the current Government cuts beginning to bite, people with Special Needs are among those who are going to be hardest hit. We need the Government to listen and understand the impact it will have on their lives. The following is a letter from the National Autistic Society:

National Autistic Society

Dear Supporter,

With vital services and benefits being cut, we want you to join us at the Hardest Hit protest on May 11th. The protest will show Government how cuts will affect disabled people.

Hardest Hit is being supported by many disability charities, including the National Autistic Society. There will be a London protest, involving a rally, march, and lobby of Parliament. Sign up to attend some or all of the day.

We know that it can be difficult for people with autism to take part in a noisy protest. For this reason we have booked some quieter rooms in Parliament for those who want to meet their MP in a calmer environment. Please contact us on hardest.hit@nas.org.uk to arrange to use a quiet room.

As well as the London protest, there will also be an Online Protest. Numbers count, so please get involved in any way you can.

Thank you,

Tom Madders

Head of Campaigns
