Our work in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NbkDXIAvmY Our Purpose: To improve the social inclusion of disabled people. Our Mission: To empower disabled people to create positive social change, through an inclusive and user-led approach to training and project delivery. Our Ethos: We believe that the value added to society by disabled people offers benefits for everyone in their community, as a better-educated and diverse community is a more valuable community. Our Aims: - Empower disabled people to create positive social change! - Create more inclusive, resilient communities. - Provide positive role models for young disabled people. Why our service is necessary: Led by disabled people, we deliver inclusive training and projects across all sectors. Our lived experience approach has had proven, positive impact on the social inclusion of communities and the way those communities view and value disabled people. The social and economic impact of our work to communities is wide-ranging, with disability hate crime continuing to increase, unemployment rates for disabled people continuing to be significantly higher than their non-disabled peers, higher rates of poverty for disabled people and businesses continuing to miss out on the benefits of the Purple Pound – the spending power of disabled people. Our impact: Our award-winning work has been recognised internationally, allowing us to positively impact thousands of beneficiaries. We continue to upskill local disabled people and provide them with a pathway to volunteering and employment.
