The Midlands TUC Disability forum met in the Unison Regional office in Birmingham to consider the campaign priorities for 2011.
The Forum specifically wants to hold a conference in December on the International Day of Disabled People which would enable the forum to highlight Disability History Month and World Aids Day. The Forum also decided to organise a fund raising event to coincide with World Aids Day, hopefully in conjunction with the region's LGB & T Network.
The Forum decided to use the full range of publicity outlets available to them, including press releases, blogs, the TUC website and special editions of the Midlands TUC eNewsletter.
Midlands TUC Regional Secretary, Cheryl Pidgeon, said, "It is great to have a plan of action where we all can work towards delivering successful events and campaigns. The Forum will lead the way and I intend to encourage other groups to follow their lead in establishing sensible and deliverable campaign strategies."
