About us

1 in 4 people in Northern Ireland have a disability.

Disability Action is the largest Northern Ireland wide pan-disability organisation working with disabled people with various disabilities: physical disabilities, learning disabilities, sensory disabilities, hidden disabilities and mental health disabilities.

Our Vision

A society which is inclusive, adapts to meet the needs of people with disabilities, rather than one that expects them to fit in.

A society that recognises disabled people's right to be different and to live their life in a way which meets their particular needs without prejudice.

Our Mission

We work to promote, protect and uphold the human rights of disabled people.

Organisational Information

Disability Action (NI) is a registered charity (Charity Reference No. NIC100004), a voluntary organization and a company limited by guarantee (Company No. 19258).
