We provide services, opportunities and a voice to people with lived experience of disability and long-term health conditions, and their families
We can offer advice, help with practical tasks and advocate for people in lots of situations. We listen and share people’s experiences to influence positive change in government policy. We know it matters, because we live with disability and long-term health conditions too.
Disabled People’s Manifesto for the General Election
As a Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO), Disability Positive has signed up to the Disabled People’s Manifesto to urge the next government to set up a radical programme of reforms, tackling systemic oppression and creating a society where everyone is valued and treated equally.
“Community connections have always been very helpful, friendly and always put the children and young people first. Communication is excellent and very professional.”
“Polite and courteous service provided with help and advice provided as needed. Also very empathetic…too often people have no understanding of dealing with disability.”
“The Direct Payment and PHB Support Service is friendly and has made this relatively complex area of life, easier to navigate.”
“Your Direct Payment and Personal Health Budget Support Service is amazing so informative, caring and understanding. They made me feel at ease and so easy to talk to.”
"My Payroll Clerk is so patient and understanding. Always there for advice and makes life easier for people like me who are new to this. It was over whelming and a worry at first but now my mind is at ease after I spoke with her."
“We’ve just moved from child services to adult services which has meant lots of extra work and it's all been sorted with your help."
“My Payroll Clerk is always on hand to help answer questions and sort things out.”
“Your staff are lovely and helpful and also remembered details from our last call…it was such a breath of fresh air and hard to find nowadays."
“There were a lot of information to absorb and process…it was a relief to speak to somebody who understands."
