History
Disabled Living, based in Greater Manchester, has given an invaluable service to disabled people of all ages for over 110 years. Today, we offer a comprehensive range of services to improve the quality of life of disabled people, their families and carers. The Disabled Living Equipment Centre provides advice and information about equipment and products to help people make a more informed choice that will enable easier, safer and more independent living.
Other services include:
- Training - on most aspects of disability and which is aimed at professional and informal carers;
- PromoCon – a comprehensive resource and confidential help-line (0161 607 8219) for people with bladder and bowel problems.
Disabled Living provides employment related services that include: Open for Business, which is aimed at helping smaller organisations make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to meet Disability Discrimination Act requirements. We are active in the community through presentations, information days and exhibitions. We organise the largest three, free UK exhibitions totally dedicated to disabled children, ‘Kidz up North’ held annually in November at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton and 'Kidz South' held at the Rivermead Centre, Reading in June, Kidz in the Middle, held annually in March at the Jaguar Exhibition Hall, Ricoh Arena, Coventry and coming soon - Kidz Scotland 2014 date to be confirmed!
Disabled Living needs to raise approximately £2,500 every day through voluntary contributions, legacies, trusts, trading and fundraising activities, which amounts to a total of £900,000 a year. It is only with this type of support that Disabled Living can continue to provide this wide range of high quality services for disabled people, their families and carers.
