We are a group of residents who are disabled or have health conditions, living in homes affected by the cladding and building safety crisis.
Our StoriesBeyond the financial pressure affecting everyone, disabled residents face additional and unique challenges from the cladding crisis.
We advocate for safe evacuation plans and building safety measures that include and protect disabled leaseholders.
We call on government and industry to recognise and respond to the specific needs of disabled residents trapped by this 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.
Welsh minister for climate change, Julie James, revealed that the Government is to launch a scheme which will target leaseholders who have found themselves in “significant” financial hardship. We urge policy-makers to expressly include disabled leaseholders who are trapped in inaccessible flats.
