Cuts to council services – disabled people’s experiences

From social care support and day centres to swimming pools and libraries, council services are a vital lifeline for many disabled people. However, we are aware of reports that council services used by disabled people are being cut. This is particularly concerning at a time when disabled people are dealing with the cost of living crisis and many are struggling to meet basic needs.

We ran an online survey between 30 January and 8 February 2023 to find out more about disabled people’s experiences of accessing council services. We received 42 responses from people who wanted to tell us about their lived experience.
