Older People Services Providers’ Network

At the last meeting of the Westminster Community Network, participants focused on identifying unmet community needs and how best to work together to address them. One of the outcomes of the network meeting was an agreement to set up a new Older People Services Providers’ Network. The aim of the network will be, to help providers share experiences, reduce overlaps in services and enable us to work more effectively together to meet the needs of older people in Westminster.  In time this might lead to joint bidding for funding and contracts. We would therefore like to invite you to the first of a regular series of Older People Services Provider’s Network meetings for voluntary sector organisations working in Westminster. Items for discussion will be; 

  • Services and Asset mapping
  • Collaborative Working
  • Setting terms of reference for the network

A full agenda will be sent in due course. If you would like to nominate yourself to chair the network, please let us know by replying to this invitation. Please register to attend the first meeting that will be held on:

Thursday 11 May 2017 2-4pm

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.
