We believe that one of the best ways to support others is by sharing information and experiences.

 

We define Peer Support as having someone who isn’t family or a friend to talk to, who isn’t judgmental or opinionated and is able to talk through issues in a calm and straightforward way.

​

As a Disabled Person’s User Led Organisation (a DPULO) we can support other disabled people with our knowledge and understanding of what it is like living in a world full of barriers, we hope to be able to support a disabled person to overcome daily obstacles, related to their disability.

​

We offer peer to peer support to any disabled or older person who requires our assistance. This can be from a one off chat to on-going support.

Some examples of things which you may need support for, include:

• Assistance with Direct Payments

• Employment of PA’s

• Accessing Independent Living

• Access in the community

• Equipment

• Social Care and much, much more!

We can offer this support in a variety of ways, in the way that suits you best:

• Email Support/Letter

• Telephone Support

• One to One Face to Face Support by Appointment – At your home, our office or at a neutral venue such as a pub or cafe

• At one of our Outreach sessions
