Possibility with disability
For over 70 years, Leonard Cheshire have supported disabled people globally to live, learn and earn. We're working hard to break down barriers that deny disabled people their basic rights.
How you can make a difference
- Donating £10 could help with the cost of training qualifications so a young disabled person can gain the skills they need to enter the workforce.
- Donating £20 could help towards the cost of running a programme like Change 100, which helps young disabled people develop their skills and gain valuable work experience.
- Donating £30 could help provide a disabled person with an adapted laptop, giving more independence with everyday activities like online shopping and applying for jobs online.
