Supporting disabled people and their families for over 30 years

We help disabled people live well

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.

What people say

Disability Positive have been brilliant at helping me manage my Direct Payment. Without their support, I honestly don't know how I would have coped. They made everything so much clearer and less stressful.
