SGDEN: working to improve life for disabled people in the area
We bring together local disabled people and the organisations who work with them to speak out collectively about what will improve lives.
We bring together local disabled people and the organisations who work with them to speak out collectively about what will improve lives.
We aim to represent and support the disabled community in South Gloucestershire by running events, working with other local organisations and providing information via monthly newsletters and social media. Our website is a one-stop information hub for the disabled residents of South Gloucestershire and those that support them.
We also work to influence South Gloucestershire Council, health services and other public bodies to get them to develop services which are fully accessible to disabled people.
One of our programmes is to manage and promote the Can’t Wait scheme in the county, where we are encouraging businesses to sign up to the scheme so that they allow quick, discreet access to toilets which might not normally be available to the public.
This animated video will guide you through everything SGDEN offers, explaining how we support the disabled community in South Gloucestershire. How we collaborate with local organisations, provide valuable information through newsletters and social media, and advocate for accessible services from public bodies. We are building our website to serve as a comprehensive hub for disabled residents and their supporters, offering easy access to resources and information in a visually engaging and straightforward format.
