Our Vision
A population of disabled people who see the positive, independent and
contributing aspects of their lives and who are supported to empower themselves
to make those contributions to society.
A society in which non disabled people recognise the rights of disabled people
to be different, to live their lives in a way which meets their particular
needs without prejudice and unfavourable treatment.
A society, which is inclusive and which adapts to meet the needs of disabled
people, rather than expecting disabled people to fit in.
