Disabled People Against Cuts - Cymru

DPAC Cymru stands in solidarity with the Trans+ community following the disgraceful decision from the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC) to pause vital gender affirming surgeries for transgender people for the foreseeable future.

This was done without proper consolation with the Trans+ community and the decision marks yet another unjust attack on a systemically marginalized community that will cause immeasurable harm and distress.

We encourage people to follow updates from the Welsh Gender Service (WGS) and Trans Aid Cymru (TAC) on this rapidly evolving situation, and to stand by your Trans+ siblings during this difficult time.

Disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) have raised grave concerns about last week’s “less than honest” report from the Timms Review and have warned that it has “diluted” disabled people’s concerns …

The Timms Review is looking at the PIP disability benefit.

Disabled people in Wales think the review is unfair and will lead to cutting disabled people's money.

We have written to the Welsh Government.

We want the Welsh Government to complain to the UK Government.

We want the Welsh Government to support an independent review that disabled people run themselves.

With the Welsh Senedd elections just around the corner Unite Community Wales have teamed up with friends from DPAC Wales (Disabled People Against Cuts) to put on a Conference/Discussion titled

“What Do Disabled People Want From A Welsh Government?”

The aim of this event is to bring you guys, our friends from DPAC Wales and any other interested parties together for open discussion about what disabled people want to see from the next Welsh Government and how disabled people can get involved in shaping that.

The ideas and discussions coming out of this can also shape Unite Community Wales campaigns in the very near future.

This will also be a great way to meet with fellow Unite Wales Members and DPAC Wales members so if you've never been involved with Unite Wales before this would be a great and safe way to tip your toe in!

THIS IS IT. The final countdown. 🚨

We have exactly ONE space left for our RISE UP programme in Wales.

If you’re a young disabled person (18–35) who is tired of being talked about and ready to start doing the talking: this is for you. We’re moving beyond 'consultation' and straight into power. Storytelling, digital campaigning, and making the systems that ignore us actually listen.

Worried about the cost? Don't be. Travel is fully covered. We don't just talk about accessibility; we build it into everything we do.

This isn't about inspiration p**n or 'overcoming' anything. It’s about lived experience being the expertise that changes the world.

Don't let the last spot go. This is YOUR moment to lead.
