Councillors, MPs and London Assembly members to join in with walks marking International Disabled Day
Disabled people will highlight the the difficulties they face in Hackney when they are joined on a walk by Hackney councillors, MPs and London Assembly members this Friday (December 3).
Three walks have been organized by disabled people’s forum, Disability BackUp, to mark the International Day for Disabled People.
Disabled adults living in Hackney are invited to join the walks which will take place in Stoke Newington Church Street, another from The Narroway to Mare Street in Hackney Central, and another at Well Street market, South Hackney.
