Media Enquiries

Senior representatives from our Board and staff are available to give statements and interviews to the media on the current issues and barriers affecting disabled people.

We can sometimes assist media representatives to find disabled people who are willing to feature in stories that link up with our work around employment and independence too, provided we have enough notice.

Please contact Elaine Astley or Dawn Bunnell on 0161 234 3950 or 0793 994 3383 with the information you are looking for and your deadlines. We will then put you in touch with the right people at Breakthrough UK to progress this.

We are developing a number of briefings on topical issues outlining our position and key facts and figures for journalists. These will be available on this page over the next few months.
