Equality Together is once again taking to the water to compete in the Lord Mayor's Dragon Boat race. Our aim is to have as many disabled people as possible in our team, supported by staff and families.
Equality Together's aim is:
To inspire and support people who face disabling barriers:
to challenge and overcome these barriers and to live independent and active lives.
Equality Together is a disabled people-led organisation
We believe in the social model of disability, whereby you are not disabled by your disability or health condition, but by the barriers in society.
We work with people to ensure they have choice and control over the services they use and need, contributing to their improved health and well-being
We will campaign around issues that are important to disabled people, carers, families and other people who face discrimination and disadvantage to achieve change
Equality Together currently has 4 main areas of work:
Independent Living
Information & Advice
Peer Support & Advocacy
Voice & Influence
