At Action Deafness, we stand firmly by the statement released by the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group (VODG). We fully support their commitment to promoting equality and inclusion for all individuals with disabilities. Together, we will continue working towards a society that values and respects the rights of every person, regardless of their abilities. #EqualityForAll #InclusionMatters

David Lewis Centre we stand with colleagues across the health and social care sector in rejecting violence and racism that we have so sadly seen across towns and cities recently. Let’s stand together to make sure those involved see there’s no place for this in our society 👇

At Brandon Trust, we have been incredibly saddened to witness the recent violence against migrants and minority groups across England and Northern Ireland.      As a member of the VODG (Voluntary Organisations Disability Group), we stand with our colleagues in condemning this racist violence and misinformation that is in direct contrast to the values we promote of a fair, just and inclusive society.     We are proud of our wonderfully diverse workforce and the diverse group of people it is our privilege to support. We unite with colleagues across health & social care, our union partners, the National Care Forum, VODG and all others who share our values.     We endorse the acts of compassion seen within local communities which have been a heart-warming reminder of the goodness of the vast majority of people in our society.
