Petition on Access to Work Scheme Cuts

In April 2018 the Government is planning to impose an arbitrary cap on the amount of support disabled people can claim from the Access to Work Scheme. This policy will make it much harder for disabled people to find and keep a job and has already come into effect for new applicants. To find out more, click here.

The Chair of Action on Disability, a charity based in Hammersmith and Fulham, is asking for your help with a campaign run with AoD to set up a Parliamentary petition to put pressure on the Government to drop this draconian, short-sighted policy. The petition needs 10,000 signatures to force a Government response and 100,000 signatures to trigger a debate in Parliament. For the petition click here.

Brexit: The Small Charity Sector

Article 50 has been triggered, beginning the process for the UK formally departing the European Union. Whilst a remarkable exercise in democracy, the result of the EU referendum has left the UK small charity sector with more questions than answers. As the UK begins the complex negotiations of Brexit, the FSI is conducting research titled “Brexit: The Small Charity Sector”, which aims to inform policy and public debate from the view of small charities.

The FSI is already engaging with MPs on the subject, and we are sure you will be having your say locally, but we want to make sure that the collective voice of our members is heard in Westminster on this immensely significant issue. The focus of the survey will be about understanding how the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union may affect small charities. Your early input into the survey would be appreciated and aims to give greater attention to issues that are important to your small charity. Click here to complete the survey.
