Disability Can Do Organisation

Empowering & Enabling Disabled Adults and Carers

Charity no1126797

Can Do is the name chosen by people with Disabilities and their Carers to emphasise their positive attitude to living within a normal society to the best of their abilities. As an organisation we are user led and the services we deliver have very much been shaped by Disabled adults and their Carers themselves. We deliver FREE Information and Independent Community Advocacy Services, and promote volunteering opportunities. Many of our services are Volunteer delivered. We also provide this client group with a voice in their local community and beyond in order to improve their quality of life. We raise awareness of their needs, campaign for better service provision, and changes in policy.
