We are Disability Positive. We help people with disability and long-term health conditions to live well. We provide you with services, opportunities and a voice.

We are a charity based in Cheshire and work mostly in the North West. The social model of disability is the starting point for everything we do and is the idea that people are not disabled by their condition, but by a world that doesn’t meet their needs. We have services to help you with everyday life, being part of your local community and looking after your wellbeing. We can offer advice, help w

ith practical tasks and advocate for you in lots of situations. We listen and share your experiences to influence positive change in government policy. We know it matters, because we live with disability and long-term health conditions too. Visit www.disabilitypositive.org to find out more.

The Social Model of Disability shifts the focus away from the individual and onto the world around them. It challenges everyone to think about how environments, systems and attitudes can exclude - and what we can do to change that.

When barriers are removed, people can access opportunities, live independently, and thrive.

At Disability Positive, this approach is at the heart of everything we do; from the services we provide to the way we advocate for change.

The Easter holidays may be coming to an end, but moments like these are what it’s all about. 🐣

From getting creative with crafts to spending quality time together, it’s the simple activities that often bring the biggest smiles.

Creative play isn’t just fun - it’s a great way to build confidence, encourage expression and create lasting memories.

We love seeing families enjoying time together in ways that feel relaxed, inclusive and meaningful.

Whether it’s crafts, days out or quiet moments at home, it all counts. We hope you're all having a lovely Easter break.

This World Health Day, we’re highlighting a barrier that too many people still face.

For many disabled people, getting to an appointment isn’t straightforward. From limited transport options to inaccessible routes and last-minute changes, the journey itself can become a barrier to care.

Healthcare isn’t just about what happens when you arrive - it’s about whether you can get there in the first place. Accessible healthcare means looking at the full journey, not just the destination.

Join the conversation and help us highlight what still needs to improve - share your experiences in the comments. 💬

This World Autism Awareness Day, we're reflecting on an important message shared by Dr. Kerry Magro's Autism Journey - the real challenge isn't autism itself, but the lack of understanding around it.

Too often, autistic people face barriers created by misunderstanding, assumptions or environments that aren't designed with inclusion in mind.

Autism is part of who someone is, and with the right support, understanding and acceptance, people can thrive.

At Disability Positive, we believe in creating a world where difference is recognised, respected and supported, not questioned.

Let's open up the conversation: what's one thing you think more people should understand about autism? Tell us in the comments. 💜

There’s been recent coverage in the news highlighting the barriers disabled people still face with public transport. In one case, it was reported that in a particular area, only 2 out of 15 train stations had lifts to the platforms.

Accessibility signs on buses and trains are important - but real inclusion is about whether people can actually travel safely, comfortably and independently.

For many disabled people, transport remains one of the biggest everyday barriers. From broken ramps and inaccessible stations to unclear communication and a lack of support, these challenges can make even simple journeys stressful or impossible.

Accessible transport isn’t a luxury - it’s access to healthcare, work, education, family and community.

We’d love to hear from you: What’s your experience of public transport? What works well, and what still needs to change? 💬

Did you know accessible workplaces make economic sense?

Most reasonable adjustments cost employers under £500 - yet they can significantly improve retention, productivity and workplace culture.

And closing the disability employment gap could add billions to the UK economy.

Inclusion isn’t just ethical, it’s commercially smart.

If your organisation wants to build confidence, improve accessibility and create a better experience for employees and customers, our Business Services team can help.

We offer:
✔ Disability Confidence Training
✔ Disability Equality Training
✔ Customer Experience support
✔ Practical guidance on removing workplace barriers

Get in touch to find out how we can support your organisation.

Spring is here, and so are new adventures! 🌸

Longer days, brighter skies and fresh air mean more opportunities to get outside, explore and connect.

Spending time outdoors can build confidence, support wellbeing and create meaningful moments of fun and friendship. Whether it’s nature walks, outdoor games or community activities, spring is the perfect time to try something new.

At Disability Positive, we’re proud to support inclusive opportunities that help children feel confident, connected and part of their community. Let’s make this season one of growth, movement and belonging. 💜
