Today we visited Fair Shot for one of our monthly partnership meetings with Piper to review the progress of the supported employees we work alongside together.

These regular meetings are an important part of ensuring Disabled employees continue to receive the right support, develop confidence and independence in the workplace, and have opportunities to grow within their roles.

We are proud to work in partnership with Fair Shot, whose commitment to inclusive employment continues to create meaningful opportunities for Disabled people.

Together, we are helping people thrive in work and demonstrating the positive impact that the right support and inclusive employers can have. 💜💛

We were delighted to welcome a delegation from the Cayman Islands Government Office UK to Action on Disability (AoD) this morning.

The delegation included the Hon. Rolston M. Anglin JP, Minister for Finance and Economic Development and Minister for Education and Training, together with senior government officials and school leaders, who visited AoD to learn more about our approach to independent living, inclusive employment, training, and community participation.

Throughout the morning, we shared how disabled people's lived experience shapes our work through co-production and leadership. Discussions covered independent living, choice and control, Direct Payments, personal assistants, supported internships, disability equality training, workforce development, and our community programmes, Our Place and Our Voice.

This was the fifth overseas government delegation to visit AoD in the past two years, following visits from Ukraine, South Korea, Japan, and other international partners. We are proud that AoD continues to attract international interest in disability rights, independent living, and inclusion.

Thank you to the Cayman Islands delegation for visiting AoD and for the valuable exchange of ideas and experiences.

Deaf Awareness Week is here 💙

This year’s theme, “Right to understand – Together, we break barriers,” is all about pushing for true accessibility and celebrating the richness and resilience of Deaf culture. It’s time to amplify voices that deserve to be heard and recognised.

At Our Place, we host a monthly West London Deaf Club for Deaf BSL users and learners—a space to connect, socialise, and support one another. Expect great conversations, fun activities, and real opportunities to influence local councils and services to improve Deaf access and inclusion.

Come along to our next meet-up this Saturday, 16 May 2026!
