UK Disabled PeoplesÂ’ Parliament Project and Business Plan
Comic Relief granted the British Council of Disabled People (BCODP) a sum of £24,000 to produce a business plan for the UK Disabled Peoples’ Parliament project. A consultant was employed to do this and a professional piece of market research was carried out to find out what disabled people outside the movement think about how their views should be represented at a national level, and their specific views on this project. A steering group to oversee this work was made up of members of BCODP who understand the movement, and also representative of various parts of the community who tend to be left out and who need to be included in any genuinely inclusive Parliament. For further information, visit the BCODP website www.bcodp.org.uk
