Possability People are a charity committed to helping you make more things possible for you in your life, no matter what your situation. They work with disabled people, older people, younger people or anyone with an impairment or long term health condition. Whether it's helping you find help at home, or giving you moral support or advice, they have the knowledge and expertise to advise you on what's possible.
They believe in a society where anything is possible, regardless of ability.
Possability People are very keen for disabled people to feedback their experiences in a way which is useful for other people. Their Get Involved Group (the GIG) is one way they do this, by supporting the group to represent their views at council and health meetings, and beyond. These views feed into planning processes and can improve the way services are delivered. Ask them about their consultancy service to help make your work accessible. They engage with their members through focus group meetings, online and offline consultations and through regular newsletter.
The GIG meets in accessible venues and welcomes all. It is always looking for new people to join it.
