Upcoming Events
GMCDP runs a variety of events throughout the year. Follow the link below to view all of our upcoming events.
GMCDP are excited to announce our continued members coffee afternoons! Come and meet to have a catch up and see what we have been doing, fill us in on what you have been doing, and advise us on what you'd like to see in any future workshops we will be holding.
This session will look at critical analysis of various news sources. We will look at mainstream medias, with a wide variety of agendas and learn how to decipher this information. Come and contribute to our discussion on how to identify the language used by mainstream media and what that means when thinking about political agendas and ideologies. It will also give people practical steps to combat fake news and make their own decisions.
This session will aim to raise awareness of techniques and tips disabled people can use when they feel overwhelmed with the world. It will focus on the huge impact COVID-19 has had on the disabled community and draw on points raised in previous mental health workshops. Members should leave feeling reassured that community organisations can provide some resilience by delivering advocacy. They should also have some practical advice that enables them to develop their own coping mechanisms.

Come and join this interactive discussion on the social model of disability and understand why GMCDP bases everything we do, with this in mind. This session will aim to teach disabled people how the model can be applied to our own lives and why terminology and language can be important for this. We will then talk about activism and how grassroots campaigns have had an impact on laws and legislation, as well as local people in their communities.
