Are you affected by budget cuts faced by local charities?

Dr Chetna Kang and Toby Friedner focus on disability and mental health.

We all know that local councils and the NHS are cutting budgets. Hertfordshire County Council has to cut it's budget by 拢200m by March next year. In MK it's 拢31m by 2017 and in Central Bedfordshire it's 拢17.4m by March 2015.

Some of that money funds the work that charities do to support local people with disabilities and mental illness.

So what impact are cuts having on those charities and the people they support?

This week on Shrink Wrapped we'll find out by speaking to people directly affected, to get a snapshot of the local picture.
