Objectives

We help the following groups of people: Service Providers in both the private and public sectors, including social services and health care professionals; Disabled people, their partners and carers.

Where appropriate, we supply an advocacy service. We see activism as key in championing the rights of disabled people to have the fulfilling sexual life of their choice.

Services: We provide advice, training and development to our target clients, such as:

  • Educating and empowering sexual health/GUM clinic staff in reaching disabled people in their communities, together with accessibility issues in the clinics themselves

Activities
