As recommended by Government we have implemented social distancing and cancelled all upcoming face to face meetings, events and training for the foreseeable future.
We will continue to provide you with up-to-date information through our social media channels – facebook @disabilitywales and twitter @DisabilityWales our website www.disabilitywales.org and by email.
