I wrote a letter for the campaign to #ScrapCareCharges in protest against the sky-high social care costs that are keeping disabled people from participating in society & threatening our health and wellbeing. #SocialCare reforms and funding must ensure #disabled people can live a good life with the same choice, control & dignity as everybody else.

Can you join me and write a letter to your MP? It only takes a few clicks: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/scrap-care-charging

Time to end the social care charging scandal

"I want the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. But, unfortunately, despite the Government's recent increase in social care funding, I'll have to continue giving up my modest income from benefits to pay for vital care support."" Your MP has the power to get this government to end thecare charging scandal. Call on your MP to act now https://actionnetwork.org/letters/scrap-care-charging
