Radar is working to break the link between disability and poverty
- Disabled people are around twice as likely to live in poverty as non-disabled people
Radar works with organisations to support good practice in enabling financial independence. Our Doing Money Differently programme was supported by the Santander Charitable Trust and by Lloyds Banking Group. Our Summit on Financial Independence, supported by HSBC, helped define good practice in serving disabled people as customers, including those who may lack mental capacity [link].
Mind won our People of the Year award for financial independence – for making debt advice and support available to people with mental distress, including over 56,000 people accessing money advice via Mind’s website
Radar has expertise in employment and well-being, health and disability [link - to Doing Seniority Research, Supporting Sustainable Careers]. Radar Associates support organisations with recruitment, retention, career development and more
We host an Employment and Disability Coalition supported by Remploy, bringing together employers, disability leaders, support providers, trade unionists and others to promote positive practice [LINK]
Radar works closely with Ministers, officials and parliamentarians. We hold parliamentary receptions, sometimes in partnership with organisations with similar aims. In 2010 we launched a report on Depression and Disability, sponsored by the Priory Group
