Disability Sheffield

Who we are

We are a membership and user led organisation, run and controlled by disabled people. We promote independent living for disabled people in Sheffield. By independent living we mean that disabled people have the same freedom and rights to exercise choice and control over their own lives as any other person.

Our culture and values

Our aims are to work in partnership with disabled people and the wider community to:

• Promote inclusive living

• To campaign for equality and complete control

• To co-produce innovative solutions to the barriers disabled people face

We will achieve our aims by:

• Campaigning for change through strengthening the voice of disabled people

• Widening our reach to disabled people through increasing our individual membership base and developing our networks with other organisations and disabled peoples groups

• Developing and delivering services which promote inclusive living – and promote good practice across Sheffield and nationally

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We believe that disabled people have the same freedom and rights to exercise choice and control over their own lives as any other person.
