Welcome to
BDEF (Bristol Disability Equality Forum)
We are a Disabled people led organisation in the City of Bristol.
Real life. Real voices.
Disability Equality in action.
We connect Disabled people together, support Disabled people to take action on the things that are important to them and make sure Disabled people are involved in the decision-making that impacts our everyday lives in Bristol.
Only 1 in 10 Disabled people always feel included in Bristol’s community life.
4 in 10 Disabled people rarely or never feel included.
More than half of Disabled people said their voice is rarely or never heard.
