Are you a Disabled person living in Richmond Borough?

Join our user-led groups!

Your Say and the Richmond Transport and Mobility Forum are dedicated safe spaces for you to share your experiences and views. We work together on campaigns and invite stakeholders to the meetings so you can speak with decision makers.

Our groups are open to all and are chaired by local Disabled people.

 

Your Say

Are you feeling the effects of the cost of living crisis? Maybe you have issues with housing and benefits? Are you experiencing barriers to accessing healthcare? Or maybe something else?

Come along to Your Say, our friendly user-led group, to share your experiences and work alongside peers to campaign for change. From best practice campaigns to in person protests, there are lots of ways to get involved.

Your Say is chaired by Mary Harrison and meets every month on the last Thursday afternoon of the month at the Ruils office in Teddington, The DAAC, 4 Waldegrave Road, Teddington TW11 8HT.

Upcoming meetings:

  • 27th February from 2:00 – 3:30 pm
