Wales Disability Reference Group

Mind Cymru is part of Wales Disability Reference Group, the other four organisations are:

• Disability Wales / Anabledd Cymru - which is in the process of changing to an organisation run by disabled people
• Learning Disability Wales - the group for organisations supporting people with learning difficulties
• Wales Council for the Blind
• Wales Council for the Deaf

The group meets regularly to discuss and agree the way forward on issues affecting people with disabilities in Wales.

An identifiable disability rights movement has only emerged in Wales relatively recently. There is a strong tradition of community-based, self-help, and impairment-specific groups, but not many are led by disabled people. The most notable exception is the Cardiff and Vale Coalition of Disabled People.
