✍️ Disability benefits are a lifeline. They help to counteract the massive extra costs that disabled people face.
They aren't "perverse incentives that drive people into welfare dependency" ❌

Slashing benefits to meet an arbitrary fiscal target would be unethical, short sighted and illogical. ❌
2 in 5 people receiving disability benefits already experience hardship – meaning they are either unable to afford enough food, heat their home or pay household bills. 1/3
ALT A quote card with an image of JRF chief executive Paul Kissack saying "2 in 5 working-age families receiving disability benefits already experience hardship – cutting benefits will only serve to deepen this. It is no answer to the nation’s health or employment prospects and an unethical and short-sighted approach.

Almost 4 million people experienced destitution in a single year – unable to keep themselves dry, warm and fed.
Hardship has reached a shameful level in our country and our primary schools and primary healthcare services are staggering under the weight of it. 🔽 (1/2)
ALT As a staff we're worrying every time it comes to a longer holiday, an Easter holiday or a summer holiday, there's more and more families that we're worried about. How are they going to survive for six weeks over the summer without free school meals? - Class Teacher

It’s okay to be emotional.
It’s okay to feel sad.
It’s okay to be okay.
It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to feel.
It’s okay to grieve.
It’s okay to tell someone you’re struggling.
It’s okay to talk.
It’s okay to struggle.
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to feel lost.
It’s okay to talk about your mental health.

I'm delighted to be running an open course for professionals in health, social work, policing, housing, sports and local govt. who want to move towards more community-centred practice. Come join me on 19th April. Book your place here: communityrenewal.learnworlds…
This is our experience too - disappointing, to say the least
Targeting resources towards needs, directs funds towards professionals, institutions & programs; not towards communities. The perverse reality of most helping institutions is that they need people’s needs, not their collective power, solidarity or assets. #RekindlingDemocracy

Alexis de Tocqueville, in Democracy in America (1835), wrote, “The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.” In our new book, we return to that basic premise & argue that neighbourhoods are the seedbed of democracy.
