Briefings and Submissions

VODG commissioned independent analysis by Cordis Bright on the impact of the budget on VCSE organisations providing disability care and support.

A letter coordinated by VODG brings together a cross party group of Parliamentarians to call on the Government to put disabled people at the heart of decision making. To share with your MP or to ask a Peer to add their support, please email [email protected] for a copy of the letter.

Based on feedback from our members, VODG responded to two of the consultations linked to the Employment Rights Bill.

VODG and Collaborate have published a new report on some of the shifts and changes needed to reframe commissioning of third sector support for disabled people.

Over 125 organisations, including VODG and our members, have written to the Chancellor, Health Ministers and opposition spokespeople urging Rachel Reeves to reconsider measures in her recent Budget.

We urge the Chancellor to invest in social care to put essential third sector support for disabled people on a surer footing.

Disabled people face significant health inequalities and barriers to accessing the healthcare they need. The NHS will only be able to meet people's needs in partnership with social care and the third sector.

As a member of the Disability Poverty Campaign Group we have written to The Chancellor calling for the Household Support Fund to continue and be ring-fenced, as it is due to end imminently.

VODG is one of over 50 charities that have written to Chancellor to set out the challenge now faced by older people this winter and ask the Government to reconsider its plans to axe Winter Fuel Payments.
