Understanding the Needs of Disabled People’s Organisations
The Funders' Collaborative Hub and The National Lottery Community Fund invite funders to explore the needs of Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) and how funders can respond individually and collectively.
In 2020, Inclusion London set out to understand the current challenges and needs of disability equality organisations run by and for Disabled People working in England. Their research, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, found that Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) are in an increasingly precarious situation, with a funding landscape that doesn’t necessarily recognise or support disabled-led work. This is despite DPOs having a proud and proven track record of creating social change and providing empowering peer support services.
Join this practical session with other funders to learn more about Inclusion London’s research and the recommendations they propose. It will also provide an opportunity to reflect on how the findings could impact on your own work and a call to action to explore next steps in creating vibrant and thriving Disabled People’s Organisations across the UK.
