Who We Are
DIAL is a local charity supporting disabled people, their families and carers in Barnsley. We provide free, confidential information, advice and support to enable local people to achieve their aspirations and live independent lives. Our team are down to earth and non-judgemental and we strive to achieve our vision for a world that is truly inclusive.
All our services have been developed in response to what local people told us they need. Together we’ve designed solutions and we are always checking to make sure we’ve got it right.
“You are brilliant and have helped me so much over the years. I don’t know how I would cope without you. The advisor was lovely; friendly and professional.”
We understand because we’ve been there too. We use our lived experience to support local disabled people and create understanding and trust.
This rapport means we are able to connect better with the people and enable them to make the right choices.
“The advisor was so understanding and did everything in his power to make sure I was comfortable with what was happening. I really am grateful and will most certainly recommend DIAL to others!”
