Disability Alliance announce their three year strategic plan

Coinciding with the European year for combating poverty and social inclusion, Disability Alliance has published a new three year strategic plan. The plan sets out our intentions in terms of supporting disabled people, our social policy and the collaborative work we do with member organisations.

In developing the plan we have taken a good hard look at our strategy, our structure and our operations, against the back drop of the ongoing impact of the recession and in the context of a new world that increasingly seeks to support disabled people to achieve their full potential.

In introducing the plan Vanessa Stanislas, Chief Executive Disability Alliance says.

“For our members, our staff, our Trustees and the thousands of disabled people we support each year, the increasing expectation for and of disabled people poses a question. Whilst there have been great gains, significant improvements in equal rights and a range of other initiatives developed that have made a tangible difference to thousands of disabled people, the question remains: how do we ensure that disabled people are appropriately involved and supported to fulfil their potential in a discriminatory world that struggles to understand the diverse nature of disability and the extra costs that disabled people face?”

Our vision

We want to see a society in which disabled people and those with long term illness or injury, are able to live free of poverty in order to enjoy the same independence, access to life chances, human rights and opportunities as other citizens.

Our mission

Our mission is to promote, lobby and campaign for and support public policy and legislation that:

• reduces the number of disabled people living in poverty
• reduces the level of poverty experienced by disabled people
• better tackles disability poverty, increases independence and improves the life chances and opportunities available to disabled people
