Support us

We work directly with disabled people of all ages, older people, and parents and carers of disabled children.
We have a number of services which promote independent living, we run our own care service to support older people in their own homes, have a carers' respite service to support families of those with dementia, and help to safely get people back home from hospital.

Last year alone we delivered over 53,000 hours of care to disabled people and those with care and support needs.

We also assisted almost 2,500 disabled people with information and advice to support them to continue to live independently.

Your assistance will help us to:

  • support more people now and in the future
  • raise awareness of disability, independent living and personalisation
  • increase independence through better care and support in our communitiesbreak down barriers and support the social model of disability
