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.

This quote by Mik Scarlet perfectly captures The Social Model of Disability — the idea that people are disabled not by their impairments, but by barriers in society.

Accessibility isn’t just about ramps or lifts; it’s about attitudes, understanding, and inclusion. Let’s work together to build a world where everyone belongs.

Time out for you, new opportunities for them.

Our Community Connections service is here to help disabled children and young people (ages 0–18) explore and enjoy local activities, while carers get a much-needed break.

Whether it’s clubs, classes, holidays or community events, we provide:
✅ Info & advice to help you find inclusive opportunities
✅ Practical support like buddying and short-term support workers
✅ Help accessing funding for activities or additional support

Every child deserves a chance to thrive, and every carer deserves time to recharge. Learn more on our website. >> https://zurl.co/05CRH

FAQ Spotlight.

“I need to find care or support for an adult - what should I do?”

It can be hard to know where to start, but you’re not alone.

✔ If the person already receives a Direct Payment or Personal Health Budget, contact their social worker or duty team.
✔ If they haven’t had support before, you’ll need to request a care needs assessment from your local council.

At Disability Positive, we’re here to make navigating support easier. We’re here to help - call us on 01606 331853.

Workplace inclusion isn’t complicated — it’s about small, everyday changes that make a big difference.

Here are 5 simple ways you can support colleagues and create a workplace where everyone thrives.

✅ Be flexible with working styles & hours
✅ Use accessible communication (plain English, alt text, captions)
✅ Ask, don’t assume; everyone’s needs are different
✅ Challenge ableism - speak up if you hear harmful language
✅ Make meetings & spaces accessible (ramps, captions, quiet spaces)

We can help your workplace become more inclusive - our Disability Confident support and Disability Equality training give your team the knowledge and tools to build a truly inclusive workplace. Learn more on our website.

from all of us at Disability Positive!

Whether you’re watching fireworks, enjoying sparklers, or keeping cosy indoors, have a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable evening.

Let’s remember that not everyone enjoys loud noises, consider silent fireworks or ear defenders for a more accessible celebration.
