Full Description of Organisation
For more than 70 years, we have been supporting disabled people. In the UK and around the world, we work with partners to open doors to opportunity. We also work hard to break down barriers that deny disabled people their basic rights.
We believe in a fair and inclusive world, where everyone can live as they choose. Our work has an impact on individuals, the public, organisations, and at national and global levels in order to reach this goal.
Our aims
Disabled people feel respected, valued and safe, choose where and how they live, and participate freely in social and leisure activities.
People achieve improved learning outcomes, their aspirations for work, and financial control.
People can optimise their health and wellbeing.
Our actions
We support disabled people to claim their rights, access quality learning and work, and live as they choose.
We work with families and communities to be inclusive.
We address additional barriers faced by girls and women.
