Our approach

Our work has an impact on individuals, the public, organisations, and at a nationwide level in order to reach this goal.

How we're making a difference

We believe in a fair and inclusive world, where everyone can live as they choose. Our impact framework – Making a difference – sets out how we seek to achieve this.

The framework is broken down into more detail in the following theory of change models.

Impact for individuals

Our aims

  • Disabled people feel respected, valued and safe, choose where and how they live, and participate freely in social and leisure activities.
  • People achieve improved learning outcomes, their aspirations for work, and financial control.
  • People can optimise their health and wellbeing.
