Sheffield Welfare Action Network (SWAN) is a new group led by people with 
disabilities. It is non-party political. 

We have called this national conference because we want to do something 
about the proposed changes. We aim to build a national campaign to oppose 
reforms which cut essential benefits. If you would like to find out more, or 
join the campaign, come along on the 15th.
If you are planning to come, please get in touch.
