An image of eleven people protesting outside a building. They are holding placards that say, in English and Welsh, "Save Cefndy!". The placards have the logo of the trade union Unison, whose colours are purple and green. Several of the protestors are raising their fists in defiance and solidarity.

UNISON Cymru write…

Cefndy has given disabled people meaningful work for 50 years. Don’t let the council take that away.

Denbighshire Council plans to close Cefndy Healthcare, a local social enterprise that has provided meaningful employment for disabled people for nearly 50 years.

Twenty-two disabled workers in Rhyl make mobility aids used by health and care services across Wales. If Cefndy closes, they will lose not just their jobs but the community and support network they have built together.

Cefndy can have a future. Workers have put forward costed alternatives that would keep it open, modernise production and protect these vital jobs. With support from the community and councillors, Cefndy can continue to prove that inclusive employment works.

Email Denbighshire councillors today. Tell them to stop the closure and back a fair, locally-led plan for Cefndy’s future.

Together we can protect jobs, dignity and opportunity for disabled people in Wales.

In solidarity,

UNISON Cymru

A graphic of the DPAC Cymru logo. There is the main DPAC logo to the left, which is a red, pink, blue, and green circle being held by four hands of different skin tones, with the words "disabled people against cuts" surrounding it, and an upside-down black traingle in the middle bearing the letters D P A C. On the right is the word Cymru (pronounced cum ree) (C Y M R U) in large letters, and the background of the letters are cutouts of the Welsh flag. Above Cymru (pronounced cum ree) is written the words Disabled People Against Cuts. Below Cymru (pronounced cum ree) are the words Rights, not charity, and the equivilant phrase translated into the Welsh language.

The first vote in parliament is 1st July. Here’s a helpful guide to some things people in Wales can do NOW to help defeat the welfare cuts bill.

These actions are specifically customised for people in Wales, and includes lobbying the Welsh government. However, people not living in Wales might still find the resources useful with small adaptations.
