Disabled People in Wales Encouraged to Stand for Election with New Access to Elected Office Fund
Disability Wales is encouraging disabled People in Wales to stand for election with support from the Access to Elected Office Fund.
With Senedd elections to be held in May 2026 and Local Government elections in 2027, this is an opportunity to shape the future of Welsh democracy. The Access to Elected Office Fund provides financial support for disabled candidates with impairment-related costs such as personal assistants, accessible transport, and assistive technology. Disabled people interested in applying to the Fund should visit the Disability Wales website or email electedofficefund@disabilitywales.org for further information.
