DISABILITY FORUMS & NETWORKS These groups offer members a voice for issues to be raised and concerns expressed. Some promote the welfare of disabled people through meetings, consultations and events, working alongside other bodies to achieve change. Others provide specific services for disabled people to access. They all gather information and feedback on local issues and welcome new members and volunteers.
