We are a national charity working to achieve full access and inclusion for disabled people. We promote access in its widest sense, including access to the built and natural environment and access to the same opportunities as enjoyed by others in our communities thus promoting a life of dignity, respect and independence. This extends beyond physical access to include access to information, access to inclusive communication and inclusion in decision-making, whether with planners over inclusive design or transport providers about accessible travel. Our aim is for every disabled person to have the opportunity to participate in a fulfilling life. We represent the views of individuals with any type of impairment, as well as disability organisations and groups who share our values. We are a membership organisation and as such listen to the views of disabled people and champion on their behalf. We work to influence the policies of the Scottish Government which affect how disabled people live, and work to encourage others to be inclusive and informed in their attitudes towards disabled people.
