BDEF Autumn Members Forum

A space to chat all things BDEF plus our focus theme this month is Housing 🏘️

Join us for BDEF's autumn members forum. This session will include updates about what BDEF has been up to PLUS we want to have a conversation around housing. There have been some political decisions made about housing and Disability in Bristol recently and we want to make sure Disabled people's voices are being heard in this conversation.

We want to hear from our members about...

General Experiences: What makes a home accessible and suitable for you?
Finding and Applying for Housing (social or private): Have you experienced any barriers when searching for housing?
Accessibility and Adaptations: Does your current home meet your access needs? Why or why not?
Independent Living: Does your housing support you to live the life you want?
Housing Services and Support: What has your experience been of estate agents, housing providers, councils, or support services?
"Magic Wand": If you could wave a magic wand and change one thing about housing in Bristol that would have the biggest impact for you, what would it be?

We are currently looking for speakers to attend this session as well to speak on the political decisions that have been made.
