Hardest Hit
Mind is fighting cuts to disability benefits, with the Hardest Hit campaign
Disabled people and their families will be hit hardest.
Their everyday lives depend on support that is under threat
We've teamed up with over 40 other organisations to run the Hardest Hit campaign, for fairness for disabled people in a climate of fear, triggered by cuts to services, resources and support across a range of sectors.
The campaign so far
On Wednesday 11 May, we marched in Westminster for the Hardest Hit. Mind staff from the national charity and local Minds around the country, along with Mind's Chief Executive and Directors, joined those whose benefits and mental health services are in danger of being cut (in some cases, by exponential amounts).
This march and the Hardest Hit campaign is about safeguarding the future for disabled people.- says Mind CEO Paul Farmer in his blog about the campaign.
On 22 October, disabled people, their families and friends took to the streets in cities across the UK protesting against Government cuts to disability benefits and services.
