Disabilities partnership board
The Disabilities Partnership Board talks about issues that affect people with disabilities.
The board first met in May 2004 and now holds meetings on a bi-monthly basis. These are held at various locations around the borough.
The board currently has no set membership, though representatives from Lambeth Primary Care Trust, Lambeth adults' and community services and voluntary sector organisations attend the meetings.
We welcome the attendance of anyone who is interested in disability issues, particularly Lambeth service users and carers.
