Disability Today - Episode 3 - Cost of Living

In the third episode of the podcast, our CEO Diane Lightfoot explores the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on disabled people, considering how it has interacted with the extra costs of being disabled. The discussion covers the 'disability price tag', the impact of rising costs of essential goods and services, and why disabled people may be more affected than most. The guests debate how the situation impacts disabled people and what meaningful action can be taken to mitigate the toll that financial insecurity can take. Our guests for this episode are: • Mark Hodgkinson, Chief Executive of Scope • Angela Matthews, Head of Policy and Research at Business Disability Forum The Disability Price Tag 2024 can be accessed here: https://www.scope.org.uk/campaigns/disability-price-tag
