An announcement by disability charity Scope that it will sell all its residential homes and special schools, and re-position itself as a “social change organisation”, is an attempt to invade the ground occupied by disabled people’s organisations (DPOs), say critics.

The shake-up appears to be designed to distance the non-user-led charity from its roots as a provider of segregated services for disabled people.

The Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People has a long and proud history of campaigning for the rights of disabled people. It’s fair to say that in the 30+ years of our existence, that we have been one of the most active, effective and well respected disabled people’s organisation in the country. All of this has been achieved in no small measure by its members.
