Significant events
- “Our refurbished centre in Belfast opened in partnership with the charity Sense and is now providing an even better space for our community in Northern Ireland.”
- “When they announced proposals to make it harder for people to access Personal Independence Payments (PIP), we campaigned together with our community and others across the health charity sector. The Government listened, dropped the proposals and announced a long-called for review of PIP.”
- “The Employment Rights Act pass, as this will mean better access to sick pay and flexible working.”
- “In March, the UK government announced proposals to restrict access to Personal Independence Payment (PIP). In response, we launched a wide-reaching campaign to protect PIP for people living with MS... in July, the government withdrew their proposals and promised to introduce a review of PIP before making any further changes.”
