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:

  • 28th November from 2:00 – 3:30 pm

Richmond Transport & Mobility Forum

Have you had negative experiences on transport? Do you have ideas on how it can be made more accessible?

The Transport and Mobility Forum is a space where anyone in the Borough who has a problem with either mobility or public transport can access information and advice. Supported by Ruils, Transport for London, the local authority and other transport providers the forum meets quarterly and brings together professionals, local disabled and older people to discuss and resolve accessibility issues in the borough.

Meetings typically take place at The Patch, 42 York Street, Twickenham TW1 3BW. We will meet in the main meeting room next to the café on the ground floor.

Upcoming meetings:

  • Thursday 13th February 2025
