Recommendations from the group

placeholderDisability NOW
Disability Now is the only monthly magazine written for disabled people by disabled people. It is the authoritative source of information on all aspects of life, from news and campaigns to politics, the arts, health, travel and sport.

placeholderCarers UK

Carers UK is the voice of carers. Carers provide unpaid care by looking after an ill, frail or disabled family member, friend or partner.

Carers give so much to society yet as a consequence of caring, they experience ill health, poverty and discrimination.

Carers UK is an organisation of carers fighting to end this injustice. We will not stop until people recognise the true value of carers’ contribution to society and carers get the practical, financial and emotional support they need.
