Disabled staff among about 70 Scope employees to lose their jobs

The Guardian

April 26, 2025

The disability charity Scope expects to cut more than a fifth of its staff this year amid mounting financial pressures, with about a third of those affected to be disabled employees.

- David Batty

Scope announced a consultation last week over plans to place 124 of its 326 corporate roles at risk of redundancy, a move likely to result in about 70 job losses in the summer.

Mark Hodgkinson, the charity's chief executive, said Scope was committed to ensuring disabled staff, who make up a third of its workforce, were not disproportionately affected. He said: "Our absolute commitment is to ensure that the actual number of roles lost is proportionate to the makeup of Scope's workforce overall."
