Disability Backup is a project run by Hackney Family Backup.

It's a user-led forum for disabled people living in Hackney. It is funded by Hackney Council and will act as an opportunity for disabled people to have their say about key issues in Hackney.

Disability Backup will enable service users to influence change in their borough and be consulted about current issues. The forum will be accessible to those with physical, sensory or learning disabilities and is open to all age groups.

Our aim is to:

• Enable participation for disabled people in all of Hackney's opportunities
• Represent interests of disabled people in regards to council services
• Increase access for disabled people to council services
• Promote equality and reduce discrimination
