SBH Scotland launches ‘Choose Opportunity’ campaign

Join the Choose Opportunity today and sign our petition to call for change

Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland has launched the Choose Opportunity campaign.

So many challenges facing disabled people and their families are a result of political choices made by our politicians.

Too many spaces and services are still inaccessible. Disabled people are more likely to live in poverty, struggle to find jobs and experience lower wellbeing.

In a country as rich as Scotland it shouldn’t be this way. You can call for politicians to make a difference choice? To choose opportunity. 

Sign our ‘Choose Opportunity’ petition to call for change

We want to see Scotland be the most opportunity rich country in the world for disabled people – a place where everyone gets the chance to feel unstoppable.

By signing our petition, you will be calling for all political parties at the Scottish Parliament elections in May to create more opportunities for disabled people.

We want to see the next Scottish Government:

1. Introduce a Disabled People’s Access and Opportunities Bill which would include measures to improve accessibility, act on the cost of disability, and give disabled people the chances to reach their full potential.
2. A commitment to increase financial support as a central part of efforts to reduce disabled people’s poverty. 
3. Improve access to respite - Make sure that respite is available quickly when parents and carers need it.
4. Support more and better quality job opportunities for disabled people
5. Fairer funding for charities like Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland
