This year’s ROFA conference is entitled ‘Unifying our Voices/Defending our Rights’ and serves as a key happening in strengthening voices and making change happen. It is an event where you can meet disabled people & DPOs from all over England & share experiences whilst making connections with other activists and campaigners.
As well as building networks it’s an occasion to build and strengthen our campaigning skills and share information about campaigning that really works.
