Disability
Removing barriers for disabled people
Getting a job or education, getting between home and work, going out to enjoy ourselves are activities most of us take for granted. But for too many disabled people these ordinary aspects of life remain difficult to achieve.
Removing the barriers that exclude or disable people who have impairments can bring about change that can make a real difference to the people we serve.
