Who we are

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
“Everyone has a friendly approach and makes you feel welcome and relaxed and you realise that you’re not on your own”
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.
