The government is planning to make some of the biggest changes in welfare provision for sixty years, particularly that of disability benefits and specifically Incapacity Benefit (IB). Sheffield WelfareAction Network(SWAN)is setting up a national founding conference (to be held Mid October) in Sheffield to highlight these changes and the present state of disability welfare and to facilitate the setting up of a national framework to campaign against these
punitive changes.

Street Protest
To help promote the conference and to highlight the unjust and cruel cuts amd changes the govt is proposing to disability benfits. Sheffield Welfare Action network (SWAN) is inviting concerned people to a peaceful protest on Sat 8th October outside the Town Hall(12.00 onwards). We will be leafleting about the conference and raising the issues to the general public
If possible we would like people to come dressed in Victorian dress, to highlight the 19th Century thinking behind the proposals,
No Return to the Workhouse!
