Leaseholder Disability Action Group

Claddag

We are a group of residents who are disabled or have health conditions, living in homes affected by the cladding and building safety crisis.

⚖

Additional Impacts

Beyond the financial pressure affecting everyone, disabled residents face additional and unique challenges from the cladding crisis.

🏠

Building Safety

We advocate for safe evacuation plans and building safety measures that include and protect disabled leaseholders.

✊

Our Asks

We call on government and industry to recognise and respond to the specific needs of disabled residents trapped by this crisis.

Who We Are

Disabled Residents Affected by the Cladding Crisis

Claddag — the Cladding Leaseholder Disability Action Group — was formed by residents with disabilities and health conditions who are trapped in unsafe, unsellable homes due to the post-Grenfell building safety crisis. We share stories, challenge policy, and fight for fair treatment.
