We’re Disability Positive!
We provide services, opportunities and a voice to people with lived experience of disability and long-term health conditions, and their families.
We are a charity and a Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO) based in Cheshire.
We have services to help people with everyday life, being part of their local community and looking after their own wellbeing, we can offer advice, help with practical tasks and advocate for people in lots of different 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.
Our Values
Our values are the things that make us who we are. We aim to demonstrate these in everything we do.
Our new (2024) ‘We are Disability Positive’ video shows more about who we are and what we do to help people with lived experience of disability and long-term health conditions.
We are here to be the voice of people living with disability and long-term health conditions
We don’t believe we can do everything ourselves; we love working with others who think like us
We are not going to change the world without thinking big
We need to be a place where people feel safe and can come freely for honest and impartial advice and support.
It’s not just our name, it’s how we approach every challenge and opportunity
What is a Disabled People’s Organisation? (DPO)
We are a representative organisation of disabled people (a DPO) which means that the majority of our staff, volunteers and our board of trustees have lived experience of disability or a long term health condition. There are DPOs based across the whole of the UK, and you can find out more about them using the map below:
