Question - what is this: disabled people's is purple; gay/LGBTQ people's is pink and older people's is grey? Answer: it's the pound - it refers to the spending power of people within a certain group. Purple is used by campaigners, charities and the government to refer to disabled people's spending power and was adopted by Philip Connolly, comms manager at Disability Rights UK back in 2011. According to Purple Tuesday the spending power of disabled people and their household worldwide is estimated to be $1.8 trillion, but only 10% of businesses have a targeted strategy for this. Here's an interesting report into what disabled consumers choose to buy and why by the Business Disability Forum: https://bit.ly/47hqh3P As always, if there's anything we can help with, get in touch: 01394 387070 (don’t forget to leave a message if we don’t answer - we’ll always come back to you) or advice@daseastsuffolk.org . . #disabledspending #lqbtqi #inclusiveflag #disabledrights #spendingpower #householdspending #disabledconsumers #businessdisabilityforum #disabledbusinesses #disabilitysmart #daseastsuffolk #disabilitycharity

LGBTQ+ community has thought about setting up private services using the pink pound. I think there is a case to have private and charitable funded queer domestic violence refuges. Others will point to need for queer retirement homes. Specialized mental health services etc. Would be interested to know how many queer parents use / end up using in years ahead private sector schools and health because they would want to choose the culture their kids are treated and taught within especially having had bad experiences themselves growing up. Lots of people will point out the state should be funding all these things anyway. I would ask if taxes are already this high and services at such a low base - what are the chances any gov funds services sufficiently to such a level it then does queer specialized services?

Today, we celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This global initiative is committed to advocating for the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities at every level of society while increasing awareness about their experiences in political, social, economic, and cultural spheres. First Nation Group is honored to partner with organizations that are driven by the mission of #givingback to these individuals and making a #positiveimpact in the lives of those with disabilities.

Why did I start the disability inclusion campaign? Because I used to be a parent carer and I know how hard that is… Because I used to have a child with a disability and I know how hard that is… Because discrimination was happening: children with disabilities were being ignored, excluded and turned down help. I know how hard it feels to be in this situation. Because policy need to be changed, to help children with disabilities and their parent-carers struggling with the cost-of-disability-crisis in the cost-of-living-crisis. This is a hard thing to change. A campaign was needed. I spoke about this on Sky News, last month (please see video below). Thanks to Sky News, Rook Irwin Sweeney (human rights) lawyers, Crowdjustice and Contact charity for all their work, help and support. For more information on the campaign, please see this webpage on Contact charity’s website: https://lnkd.in/emP7KVCB If you would personally like to support the campaign please go to Crowdjustice: https://lnkd.in/emJV6c67 Thank you! #costoflivingcrisis #costofdisabilitycrisis #disabilityinclusion #disabilityrights #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #carersupport #carersuk #parentcarercampaigner #humanrights #socialcare #freeschoolmeals #EDI #equityineducation #equalitydiversityinclusion #equalopportunity #inclusionmatters

Disability is not a disease and definitely NOT grounds for #discrimination. Those who are below the poverty line face the most backlash of being treated as an #equal in #society.We at Let It Count work with #NGOs to bring a positive #change to people with disability inclusion. We know that not everyone can be a #donor, but they can #BeTheChange.

ICYMI: Watchdog lists Christian charities deemed not 'worthy of support from pro-lifers': A pro-life advocacy organization claims that more than two dozen charities, including Christian organizations, have ties to or supported pro-abortion and LGBT advocacy.  #Christiancharities #prolifecharities #charitiesChristiansshouldsupport #charitiesforChristians #charitiesforprolifers #prolifecharities

The CRPD emphasises the fundamental rights of people with disabilities to an appropriate quality of living and social protection, which is a key component of SDG 1- No Poverty. The improvement of the quality of life for those with disabilities has a direct connection to the fight against poverty. I had a mission to honour my birthday this year. I raised funds to support four people because I was motivated to have a real difference on the lives of those with disabilities outside my work. one of them is the young girl in the wheelchair shown in the picture below. This brave girl's tale, in which she is orphaned and lives with her grandmother, is a prime example of the detrimental relationship between "Disability and Poverty". She was deprived of the chance to attend school or socialise with peers, her life somehow changed after receiving the wheelchair. Her grandmother, bound to caregiving, faced hurdles engaging in economic activities. Sadly, their minimal participation in local events may lead to social marginalisation and stigma. This isn't just about poverty; it's about human rights. As the former United Nations Secretary - General, Kodi Annan, eloquently stated: "Wherever we lift one soul from a life of poverty, we are defending human rights. And whenever we fail in this mission, we are failing human rights." Is your organisation focused on "poverty reduction"? Are individuals who are differently abled reaping the benefits of your effort?
