Bristol’s Disabled People’s Manifesto

Sign up for our newsletter

A monthly newsletter all about Bristol’s Disabled community.

In 2016, BDEF launched Bristol’s first Disability Equality Manifesto.

The Manifesto was the result of a lot of work, consultation and research by and with Deaf and Disabled people, our families and allies.

The Manifesto does not represent everything that needs to be done, but proposes some of the changes needed to ensure that our city becomes a place of equality and inclusion for all.

You can view the manifesto as a PDF below. If you would like a copy of the manifesto in a different format, please contact us.
