 | BDIN closure Press Release Press release: A vital Bracknell-based organisation serving thousands of disabled people faces closure because of drastic cuts in local authority funding.
Berkshire Disability Information Network (bdin) based at Brakenhale School, Bracknell, will be forced to close at the end of March as a result of discontinuation of funding from the Berkshire local authorities.
Local and national charities have spoken out to condemn the closure as short sighted – and a total waste.
Chairman of bdin, Norman Jones, said: ‘It is particularly galling that bdin has been forced to close at a time when the government is at long last beginning to recognise the need of helping and informing disabled people’.
The move comes despite announcements and a report from the Government’s Office for Disability Issues (Improving Information for Disabled People) saying voluntary organisations outperform local authorities in joining-up information, especially local information.
bdin assists more than 3000 disabled people, carers and health and social care professionals a year. |

 | Demystifying the myths of ageing A recently published World Heath Organisation pamphlet indicates how certain problems associated with old age can be largely attributed to myths surrounding the aging process. It shows how many of these problems could be effectively tackled through changing lifestyles, appropriate care and adjustments in the social, working and physical environments. It aims to broaden the debate on the changes necessary to ensure that people of all ages take advantage of a longer and healthier life. |
