Take part in research
We want to find out how ableism impacts the lives of people with non-visible disabilities and to do this we will be running a series of creative zine making workshops with disabled people. Zines are a small, handmade, magazine made for recording people’s experiences.
We want to get a deeper understanding of the different ways that not being believed, being misunderstood or treated as if you are lying about having a disability affects people with non-visible disabilities.
To take part people need to have a non-visible disability, be aged 18 or over and live in Gloucestershire. If you are interested then please get in touch by email: research@inclusion-glos.org or phone: 07517 994765

Big Survey 2024
Background
Inclusion Gloucestershire wanted to understand the areas of everyday life that are causing worry or unhappiness for people in Gloucestershire who face disabling barriers.
We invited people who face disabling barriers to give us their opinions and experiences along with any ideas they have for improving things in 2024/2025.
The top concern in 2022 was Finances. We decided to ask for people’s opinions again in 2024/2025 to see if anything has changed.
We would like to thank everyone who has taken part and given us their thoughts and opinions. It is so important that we are able to share the reality for disabled people in Gloucestershire.
