Dear Members and Supporters,

Next month will be Action on Disability’s 45 year anniversary! What a milestone from a small group of three Disabled residents campaigning for access to the public baths (swimming pool) and public toilets in Hammersmith and Fulham to the organisation we are today! From 1979 to now, we thank all our local Disabled residents and campaigners, who have built up this local Disabled People’s Organisation to be one of London’s leading organisations run and led by Disabled people!

To celebrate this milestone, as well as International Day of Disabled People, please see the enclosed poster, and come along to AoD’s Annual General Meeting, followed by our 45 Year Celebration Buffet Lunch and an afternoon celebrating Disabled People’s talents at the Drake Suite, Chelsea Football Club on Tuesday 3^rd December 2024 from 11am to 5.30pm.
