WELCOME

Our Aims:

To ensure the appropriate provision of services to disabled people in Hastings and Rother.

To promote the right of disabled people to full integration and equality of opportunity in society.

HRDF wishes to represent the views of disabled people in Hastings and Rother regarding the issues that affect them in their day-to-day lives.

We aim to do this in a number of ways:-

Through our newsletter, we will publicise the work we are currently involved in and invite members to contact us with any views they have on any of the topics we have raised.

From time to time, we will hold themed open meetings about issues that disabled people have contacted us about. Examples of these are the meeting we held on changes to rules around blue badge parking in Hastings Borough Council car parks, the meeting to discuss disabled people's concerns around Social Services and the meeting to discuss disabled people's housing concerns.

A number of committee members sit on local groups and networks, either as a representative of HRDF or representing themselves in their local community.
