Who we are

Our Vision: A better world with people with disabilities are valued and contribute to dynamic and inclusive communities.

Our Mission: To support, empower and enable people we support to live their lives to the full.

Through our person-centeredness, Options has been pushing boundaries, changing perceptions and challenging the social care system to enable people with disabilities to have ordinary, healthy, happy and full lives. Through our campaigning, services and original thinking we’re creating a world where every person feels welcome. You too can make the world a better place for people with disabilities. Campaign, donate and raise awareness.
