Disabled people are twice as likely to live in financial poverty but disability poverty is about much more than that. It is about access to and quality of education; housing; transport; employment; access to shops and services; access to health care and social services; levels of hate crime and access to justice.
The links between disability and poverty remain so strong that unless specific action is taken to tackle disability poverty, the goal for ending other forms of poverty, such as child poverty, will simply not be met. This is why we need you to get involved to help us raise disability poverty on the Government agenda.

Leonard Cheshire Disability has also just launched its
ground-breaking report ‘Disability Poverty in the UK,’ which explores the different poverty strands in more detail and makes recommendations on what the Government can do to tackle these.
