I received this email about the Petitions Committee discussing the imminent closure of the Welsh Independent Living Grant and our efforts to save it on Tuesday morning (12th February). This day also marks an important meeting which I will keep under wraps for now and then I am off to Kimnel Bay to feature on Sound Radio to talk about the Campaign. Nowadays, I hardly complete a sentence without uttering the words Welsh Independent Living Grant.
The 12th of February also happens to be my birthday. Let’s hope the Committee can finally move towards writing a report on the future of WILG to put pressure on the Welsh Government to protect disabled people and their families. The only way to do this is by maintaining and improving the Welsh Independent Living Grant and reinforcing the tripartite system.
