Disability Huntingdonshire

This Trustees' Week, we asked our Chair of Trustees, Gethyn, why he became a trustee of DISH.
"I became a trustee with DISH because too many people with disabilities are judged instead of supported - both by the stigma around benefits and a system that can feel dehumanising.

I'm proud of our work to give people dignity, fairness and access to the benefits they’re entitled to.”

It's Trustees' Week, and we would like to thank all our trustees for their continued support of DISH.
Here's why Georgie joined our trustees: "I wanted to give back by helping shape an organisation that empowers all people to access their rights and independence. I work alongside a passionate team who genuinely put people first, making a tangible difference in our community. I'm so proud to be able to use my skills to help ensure everyone has access to fair, independent advice and the support they need to live with dignity and confidence."

A reminder that the UK Emergency Alert System is being tested today at 3pm on compatible mobile phones.

The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm. Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.
