We were delighted to welcome Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn to our office on March 25th during his visit to Sheffield to support Labour’s candidate, Gill Furniss, in the upcoming Hillsborough and Brightside by-election . Following the Government’s U Turn on the cuts to disability benefits that were announced in the budget, the Labour Leader wanted to hear more about and discuss the value of Personal Independence Payments and what effect the Government’s hastily-withdrawn proposal to cut them would have had. Mr Corbyn spoke with staff, trustees, members, service users and friends of Disability Sheffield praising the work of Disability Sheffield and Sheffield’s reputation as ‘a radical place that does support people with disabilities. All that is under threat if we consistently underfund local government in the way that this government is doing”, he added. View Sheffield Telegraph Article. .
