About this listen
Many young disabled adults are not fulfilling their potential because of a lack of government support. That's according to the founder of a charity that helps those young people achieve their ambitions. Jane Holmes set up Building for the Future because of her own experiences after her daughter, Kitty, was born 24 years ago.
Building for the Future supports around 500 families but is running out of space and plans to expand by 2026 to better serve young adults transitioning from education. These young people often face isolation when care packages prove insufficient, leading parents in their 50s to abandon careers to provide necessary support. With the charity receiving no government funding and concerns about proposed cuts to disability benefits, Jane calls for longer-term thinking from policymakers.
