Disability Positive

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 with 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.

We want to hear from you.

Seeing accessible seating is a reminder that inclusion starts with design, but it shouldn’t end there.

We’d love to know: What services, spaces or experiences do you think need to be more inclusive? Where do barriers still exist?

Your lived experiences shape the work we do. Your insights help us advocate, educate and push for better accessibility in our communities.

Share your thoughts below, together, we can highlight where inclusion is working… and where it still needs to grow.

Behind the scenes at Disability Positive.

Our trustees recently came together at Disability Positive HQ for one of their regular meetings, taking time to guide, support, and strengthen the work we do across our communities.

As a user-led organisation, our trustees play a vital role in making sure we have strong governance and keeping lived experience at the heart of every decision.

Their insight, commitment and dedication help us stay focused on what matters most: removing barriers and creating positive change for people with lived experience of disability or long-term health conditions.

We’re incredibly grateful for the time, care and expertise our trustees give to Disability Positive. Thank you for everything you do.

At Disability Positive, we believe every person’s story matters.

Disability is just one part of who someone is, never the whole picture.

Dr Kerry's words are a powerful reminder that identity, experience, and individuality deserve to be seen, heard, and valued.

Let’s continue creating spaces where stories are shared, voices are amplified, and people are recognised for everything they bring to our communities. 💜

A little festive throwback.

As January settles in, we’re looking back at some lovely moments from the festive period with our Good Company and Buzz groups. From shared laughter and creative activities to spending time together and enjoying the season, it was a reminder of just how important connection and community are.

These groups are about more than activities, they’re about belonging, confidence and creating safe, welcoming spaces where people can be themselves.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported each other and made the festive season feel a little brighter. We’re looking forward to many more moments like these in the year ahead. 💜

Meet Billy - one of our amazing volunteers on the Information & Signposting Line.

Billy shares what the Information & Signposting Line is all about and the wide range of questions people come to us with - from finding the right support and services, to understanding options and knowing where to turn next.

Our Information & Signposting Line is here to help people with lived experience of disability or long-term health conditions, their families and carers. Whether you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or just need pointing in the right direction, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

We offer free, confidential support and can help with things like:
✔️ Accessing local and national services
✔️ Understanding support options
✔️ Finding practical help and advice
✔️ Knowing what steps to take next

Thank you to Billy for sharing his experience and being such a valued part of our team.

Access to Work provides vital support that enables disabled people to get into work, stay in work and work with dignity. But funding pressures, delays, and changes to the scheme are creating new barriers, putting jobs, independence, and opportunities at risk.

At Disability Positive, we believe in the social model of disability: people are disabled by barriers in society, not by their condition. Removing support like Access to Work does the opposite of inclusion - it pushes people out of work instead of enabling them to thrive.

As members of the DPO Forum (England), we stand with Inclusion London and other Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs) calling on the government to protect and adequately fund Access to Work.

You can take action by contacting your MP and sharing why this support matters. Find out more via Inclusion London’s Campaigns & Policy section. >> https://zurl.co/2DbYT
