The Hardest Hit Cymru campaign needs your readers' help.

Disabled people, those with long-term conditions and their families across Wales are being hit hard by UK Government cuts to the benefits and services they need to live their lives.

Many are living in fear of cuts to essential benefits including Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).

The total cuts will mean an estimated £450million loss to disabled people in Wales over four years.

The Hardest Hit Cymru campaign joins together over 17 organisations in Wales to send a clear message to the UK Government: stop these cuts.

You can support the campaign today by writing to your local Assembly Member (AM) or your local Member of Parliament (MP), by attending the Hardest Hit Cymru rally on Saturday,October 22nd, at 12.30pm outside City Hall in Cardiff; or by joining our online protest.
