The purpose of the reception is to advise guests on a major new initiative to promote opportunities for disabled people in public appointments. I would be grateful if you could forward copies of the enclosed invitation letter through your network of contacts at universities to as many disabled current and former students with disabilities including those with dyslexia. These might also include disabled members of staff at universities. Those who participate in the programme will have the opportunity of meeting Cabinet Office Ministers and Dame Rennie Fritchie (Commissioner for Public Appointments) on the European Day of Disabled People (3rd December) at Church House opposite the Houses of Parliament. Please ask them to contact us as soon as possible as the number of places are limited to 50 disabled people.
