About US
ESTABLISHED 1993
Disability Direct was created in 1993 by a group of disabled people who saw a need for good reliable information.
The charity started off small with just a few volunteers but soon grew to become the largest user-led charity in the UK.
Our Welfare Rights service was created soon after forming the charity and this is the only project that has continued throughout our 30+ years.
SUPPORTING PEOPLE THROUGH THE TOUGHEST OF TIMES
We run many projects and services that support both people locally and nationally and all of them aim to provide them choice and control.
Disability Direct now has over 90 members of staff and 28 volunteers between the charity and its Social Enterprises, which include Nimbus Disability, The Disability Syndicate and The SEND Dynamic.
All profits from the social enterprises are donated to the charity which has allowed us to continue to support people even through the toughest times.
OUR ETHOS
Over the years we have supported over 500,000 people through many projects and services and will always adapt to the needs of disabled people, their families, carers and professionals.
Even though DD has had to change over the years, our ethos has stayed the same throughout this time and we continue to provide advice, support and guidance to help you navigate your financial, physical and personal life.
