Why Co-Production Matters: Shaping Policy With Disabled People, Not For Them @DisRightsUK Chair, Liz Leach Murphy wrote this blog for #CoProdWeek2025 about the importance of co-production as a strategy. disabilityrightsuk.org/news/why-co-pr…
We are devastated to hear the Government's Universal Credit Bill has gone through. This will halve the UC health element for thousands of Disabled people, taking away £3,000 a year when they already cannot afford essentials. Disabled lives are more than numbers on a spreadsheet.
Ahead of Wednesday's vote, we'll continue our campaigning to get the Government to #BinUCBill, which would cut the Universal Credit health element in half, from £416 to just over £200. Disabled peoples' lives are not a cost-cutting exercise!
Following the launch of our report 'The Impact of Welfare Cuts on Disabled People and Access to Physical Activity', we were in Parliament yesterday speaking to MPs about the importance of resisting these benefit cuts. 📊Read our full report here: getyourselfactive.org/impact-of-welf…

When done right, co-production can be hugely empowering for us. When we are given a voice in decision-making, everyone wins! 💬Hear Rachel, a member of our co-production Sounding Board, about how this process built up her self-esteem #CoProWeek2025
When services are genuinely co-produced, they work better, because co-produced solutions make the most of the shared expertise of the professionals and the people who have direct experience of using them. Working in partnership can only be positive! getyourselfactive.org/guide/a-simple…
🚨Disabled man lost his PIP after being filmed by DWP at his cricket club🚨 It's deeply concerning that Disabled people face punishment for being active. We must resist the welfare reform bill that will only make the DWP more harmful! getyourselfactive.org/punished-for-a…
It's co-production week! An opportunity to learn more about how to design and develop things with lived experience at their forefront. Here's Rachel, a member of our co-production group, talking about why it's so important! #CoproductionWeek @SCIE_socialcare

We reject the Government's 'concession' that would create a two-tier disability benefits system. It is not a concession to have a system where future generations of Disabled people receive less support than Disabled people today. The only concession we accept: kill the bill!
🚨 Joint statement: Unacceptable “concessions” on the disability cuts MUST be rejected. It is not a concession for future generations to receive even less support than Disabled people today. Read it in full on our website👇 disabilityrightsuk.org/news/unaccepta…
Great to see @SkyNews coverage of our poll conducted that shows only 27% of the British public support the Government's benefit cuts. This is a reckless plan that marginalises Disabled further with negligible public support - it's time to kill the bill! news.sky.com/story/politics…

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 New polling from @GetYrselfActive reveals only 27% of the public supports the Government's benefit cuts 👉49% of the public say that cutting benefits will make the health of Disabled people worse disabilityrightsuk.org/news/public-re…
More than 120 Labour MPs have rebelled against the Government's benefit cuts, signing an amendment aiming to kill the bill. This is an important step in a resistance against these damaging cuts - testament to the tireless campaigning of Disabled activists!
