Established in 1996, Disability Equality NW is a user led disabled people’s organisation (DPO) providing a range of support services, events and activities to enable disabled people across the North West of England to live independently and be active in their local community.
About us
Present day
We’ve developed into a large, independent, user-led service that provides a range of services to address the individual’s needs using a holistic and person-centred approach. Our office is located in Preston City Centre, we have over 20 staff, and over 20 volunteers providing our services throughout the North West of England.
The social model of disability
The social model of disability is our cornerstone, and we’ve integrated this throughout our services, which have arisen out of local community needs. We focus on the individual, on what they can do not what they can’t – and we provide the services our members have requested to support them.
