Sheffield Welfare Action Network

The government is planning to make some of the biggest changes in welfare provision for sixty years, particularly that of disability benefits and specifically Incapacity Benefit (IB). Sheffield WelfareAction Network(SWAN)is setting up a national founding conference (to be held Mid October) in Sheffield to highlight these changes and the present state of disability welfare and to facilitate the setting up of a national framework to campaign against these
punitive changes.

If possible we would like people to come dressed in Victorian dress, to highlight the 19th Century thinking behind the proposals,
