The Untold Story
How we make a meaningful difference in other ways
Helping those when they most need it - in big and small ways - move to the end
Disability Support works with marginalised groups in the community to reduce and remove barriers that negatively impact independent living.
Our Welfare Team provides free advice and support on benefits and attends tribunals with our clients; our Community Support Team helps clients find grants, deal with other forms and paperwork, complete HomeLink applications, find activities and support, and more.
We also offer and host a social group every Wednesday and a dementia group every other Friday. A social group is also hosted on Tuesdays in Sneinton.
We have therapy animals that provide support and comfort to many of our clients, and we take them on visits to friendship groups, care homes and schools.
However, much of the work we do is not measured but adds social value in many ways; below are some of the ways we have worked with and supported the community.
They are listed below under the following headings:
-
Work in the Community – Outreach Work
