COVID-19 largely impacted the funding of Disability Services in two ways. Firstly, disability services had to invest: in additional staff and relevant staff expenditure, in technology, as well as in products and services to help them adapt their support. In short, expenditure often shot up in order to keep the services running as normally as possible. Secondly, the income of many services were also decreased or made unstable. This was due to overly strict contracts with their authorities, less new funding opportunities and a reduction in own income (fund raising, social entreprises, etc). In short, Income often dropped.

If left untouched, this situation (a fragile context, hit by increased costs and reduced income) not only further damages the resilience of the sector, but in some cases even puts in doubt the continuity and sustainability of social support across Europe.

For this reason, the European Association of Service providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD) organised a webinar on “Financial Resilience of Disability Services: is Europe doing enough?”

One year on from the pandemic, the webinar examined the following issues:

What is the financial situation of disability services in several European countries?

What are the existing and upcoming measures being done to support them?

What more could be done to build up the resilience of Disability Services in Europe?
