Big thanks again to @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social for sponsoring the event and to all the MPs and Peers who made time to come along.

We can't wait to start building these relationships further.

We were also very happy to meet @katrinamurraymp.bsky.social @labouruk.bsky.social , who was interested to hear about the research in our report and the work of the #FiLiAWomensAssembly, especially in #Scotland.

Fantastic to meet @kittysull1.bsky.social & @tracygilbertmp.bsky.social @labouruk.bsky.social, who were both interested to hear about the diverse range of women who have signed up to the #FiLiAWomensAssembly, attending 30+ events this year, inc. in #Scotland.

Further meetings are now being planned!

Who gets MHCLG?

We spoke to women across the UK with disabilities or caring responsibilities about the Government’s proposed #WelfareReforms

Our statement, briefing to MPs and full consultation response can be read here:

We hope Government will also listen to the Women from across the country who have contribed to our response to the DWP consultation.

We will be sending this in the next week and are happy to discuss further 📨
