We all need support sometimes to live the life we want.

Some Disabled people need care and support to live independently at home. But people can be charged huge, unaffordable amounts for the support they need.

Social care should enable people to live independently, not push them into financial hardship.

“We are proud to support RUF’s call on Newham Council to stop care charging.”

Our CEO, Ellen, is taking us through some of our amazing achievements:

🗣️“Over the past year, our advocates helped Real’s clients secure more than £37,000 in benefits and grants.”

It’s been wonderful to see so many members, Trustees, volunteers and staff joining today’s AGM. Lots of great questions, positive conversations and a real sense of shared purpose in the room.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Real and our mission.

We’re walking on the 9th of June to help improve access to justice.

At Real, we work to remove the barrier to accessing legal advice by providing free support to Disabled people.

If you’re able to, please support our team by following this link: https://bit.ly/3PIESAK

Even a one-off donation of as little as £1 can make a difference.

Every contribution helps us continue providing free legal advice to those who need it most. Thank you.
