Embrace Wigan and Leigh

Embrace Wigan and Leigh We are a user led organisation, over 75% of our management committee is made up of people and families of people with disabilities.

We offer support, advocacy, advice and information (among others) to make sure people live a life as inclusive and meaningful as possible. We believe everyone has a right to live the life they choose and not to become isolated just because they are different.

We believe that disabled people make our communities a more diverse, interesting and worthwhile place to live. That is why everything we do is about ensuring all people are included in their local community
