That is not my understanding of the social contract. We have a huge, powerful community of disabled citizens and carers. In my experience, the principal challenge is fragmentation. Apart from communicating with the federation, which is not my role, I am at a loss to know how I can mobilise its support. Can the federation perhaps outline to me the ways in which it can assist me in communicating what I am doing here to our broader community through its membership of 101 organisations. What steps can it take?
