Subject: Faith & Disability: accessing religion whilst disabled

Hi all

This week there was a feature on channel 4 news as part of #nogobritain
about the disability and the church. I was featured in the film and
appeared live on channel 4. You can view the videos below.

I'm seeing more and more papers that investigate this relationship and
really want to continue the conversation. Many of you will know that the
overarching received wisdom is that disability and the church don't mix.
I've seen a lot of disability studies papers that accept and perpetuate
this without investigating further the perspective of religion and
redressing these concepts under a disability lens. There's a lot that can
be done to challenge this, but we must start by acknowledging what place
disability has within faith, religion and most importantly, that there is a
problem.

I've also included links to a couple of blog posts that discuss the issue
and offer solutions.

Hi friends

I have been asked to draw this to your attention again.  Please address any queries to DRILL, not me.

Best regards

Tom

Call for applications for multi million research programme led by disabled people
Disabled people, their organisations, academics and partners are being invited to apply for grants for research and pilot projects to find out how disabled people, and those with long term conditions, can participate fully in society, achieving independent living.

Organisations can apply for up to £150,000 from the DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning) programme, which launched last autumn and expects to fund around 40 projects in the UK over the next four years.  DRILL opened this Monday 9 May for applications and will close on 27 July.  Please visit the DRILL website: www.drilluk.org.uk<http://www.drilluk.org.uk> for further information.

Disabled people will be at the forefront of designing projects (with academics and policy and practice experts), for the programme. DRILL is funded by a £5 million grant from the Big Lottery Fund and will be delivered by Disability Rights UK, Disability Action Northern Ireland, Inclusion Scotland and Disability Wales.

Liz Sayce, Chief Executive Officer of Disability Rights UK, said:
"Our aim is to build new evidence on what would enable disabled people to take full part in society - with disabled people in the lead, setting the priorities and co-designing the projects. We're looking forward to receiving some exciting proposals".

Proposals will be assessed by a National Advisory Group, with a Central Research Committee made up of disabled people, academics and policy experts making a final decision on which projects receive funding.
Fast Track Applications will find out if they have been successful in September 2016.  Larger applications using a 2 Stage Application process will find out in March 2017.
This is the first call for applications.  A further 3 calls are anticipated over the next 4 years.

Tom Shakespeare, Chair of the Central Research Committee for DRILL, added:

"The starting gun has been fired on a very exciting competitive research process.  We are looking for teams that have great ideas, true partnership between researchers and disabled people, and with real chance of improving the lives of disabled people.  This is the first tranche of a five year funding programme that will change the United Kingdom for the better."


To find out more about the DRILL project, and how to apply for a grant, go to www.drilluk.org.uk
