Run by disabled people, for disabled people
We're a Disabled People's Organisation based in Cheshire. The majority (75%) of our staff, volunteers and trustees have lived experience of disability.
We want a world that is Disability Positive.
We are 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’re 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 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.
Positive
It's not just our name, it's how we approach every challenge and opportunity.
Collaborative
We don't believe we can do everything ourselves; we love working with others who think like us.
Representative
We are here to be the voice of people living with disability and long-term health conditions.
Ambitious
We are not going to change the world without thinking big.
Trustworthy
A place where people feel safe and can come freely for honest and impartial advice and support.
What is a Disabled People's Organisation?
We’re a representative organisation of disabled people (a DPO). That means the majority of our staff, volunteers and trustees have lived experience of disability or a long-term health condition.
Over 70% of our workforce identify as disabled or have a long-term health condition (verified as of November 2025).
DPOs exist across the whole of the UK. You can find other DPOs near you using the map.
