Ahead of a crucial vote on cuts to disability benefits, our new evidence casts doubt on whether jobs are even available for disabled people facing cuts 📢 The analysis found that the parts of the country among the hardest hit by the cuts have fewer job opportunities 1/3

We're celebrating 30 years of our Families Matter Shared Lives service, focusing on carers. Briege and Dermot Mullan from Co Down have been caring for Anthony (pictured with his sister) since he was a baby. "They're family. We wouldn't be without them," says Briege. #SharedLives

Lack of synchronised collective action by government departments continues to fail to provide paid and meaningful employment for people with disabilities. NI has the worst employment gap for disabled people in these islands. #MindTheGap #InvestInSupportedEmployment

So whilst we don’t have the capacity to support individuals we do believe in #empowerment #knowledge so we are developing a resource for the #learningdisability community. Please pass on Information Hub - Parents, Carers and Professionals - ArcNI arcni.org.uk/information-hu…
