Disability Together is the new name for Living Options Devon.

Why the change? Over the years we've grown and evolved – now supporting more than 10,000 Disabled people every year through wellbeing activities, advocacy, peer support, training and advice. But there are many more people that could benefit from our services.

We asked our community – staff, trustees, volunteers, partners and the people who use our services, many told us that the old name was sometimes unclear and even a barrier. Our old name wasn’t clear about who we support or the way we work.

Disability Together puts Disabled people are at the heart of all we do. Working together we can reach more people, join with more organisations, and remove more barriers to inclusion.

Our new strapline is ‘Because every ability matters.’ It recognises the different strengths of the people we support, and it shows our promise to help everyone live with choice, control and opportunity.
We hope you like our new look and name!

The Disability Together logo is a flower, the same deep teal with a pop of bright pink from a vertical line that separates the strapline 'Because every ability matters.' A gentle turquoise wave runs along the bottom.]
