'Hardest
Hit' March- Wednesday 11th May 2011
30 service users and staff from Elfrida joined the
national demonstration called the 'Hardest Hit' on 11th
May 2011 in Central London.
The protest was against the Government's proposal to
cut welfare benefits to disabled people.
Watch the Guardian's video below:
10,000 people
gathered at the Embankment and marched on Parliament
- it was the biggest demonstration of disabled people
that has been recorded.
'It was wonderful to see the Elfrida Society out in
force with their wonderful banner and making their voices
heard', says Deborah Caplan (Advocate at Elfrida Society)
