CALLING ALL DISABLED PEOPLE
Do you identify as disabled, deaf or have a long-term health condition? Do you experience barriers that stop you from fully accessing life in the Hebden Bridge area? Getting out and about can be challenging for many reasons: mental health issues, chronic illness, autism, hearing or mobility impairments, communication difficulties. Whatever your personal experience of disability, we at Hebden Bridge Disability Access Forum (HBDAF) would like to hear from you.
There are many ways you could get involved:
We're a hard-working, action focused, disabled-led group, formed in 2016 to improve access for those who live, work or visit Hebden Bridge, as well as celebrating good practice and finding positive solutions. Our achievements are numerous and include:
We're a working group of around thirty members and we encourage more people to get involved. Tell us about the most important issues affecting you locally. Much of our work has, and will continue to, tackle the more obvious, physical barriers people face. We'd like to concentrate more on raising awareness and creating better access for those with mental health issues and other invisible disabilities. This is a broad demographic that would include people with learning differences or dementia and Autistic people. If you have lived experience of any form of disability or support those who do, please get in touch.
