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
