We look forward to welcoming you.

Today, we welcomed disabled people, representatives from third sector organisations, and representatives from the Scottish Government to discuss our latest research, What it is like to live in Scotland as a disabled person in 2026.

The findings show that disabled people are still being forced to make impossible choices between paying bills, getting the support they need, and maintaining their independence.

Our CEO, Lucy Mulvagh, called for urgent action from the Scottish Government and Parliament to address the pressures disabled people are facing every day.

Disabled people must be included in decisions about poverty, public services, social security, and independent living. Nothing about us without us.
