Advocating for Independent Living: Legal Challenges and Upcoming Campaigns Overview

In April 2013, key points emerged from the legal challenge regarding the Independent Living Fund (ILF). The financial outlook post-2016 appears grim, with a shift in narrative from 'cuts' to 'reform.' Despite the absence of advocacy in December 2010, the campaign emphasizes the need for equity and challenges from large disability organizations. Upcoming initiatives include meetings with ministers, community events, and a focus on local authority provisions. The campaign also highlights the UN Convention on the Right to Independent Living and upcoming events such as the Write to Your MP event on April 18th in Camden.
