Disability Positive

Disability Positive We are Disability Positive. We help people with disability and long-term health conditions to live well. We provide you with services, opportunities and a voice.

We are a charity based in Cheshire and work mostly in the North West. The social model of disability is the starting point for everything we do and is the idea that people are not disabled by their condition, but by a world that doesn’t meet their needs. We have services to help you with everyday life, being part of your local community and looking after your wellbeing. We can offer advice, help with practical tasks and advocate for you in lots of situations. We listen and share your experiences to influence positive change in government policy. We know it matters, because we live with disability and long-term health conditions too. Visit www.disabilitypositive.org to find out more.

Spring is here, and so are new adventures! 🌸

Longer days, brighter skies and fresh air mean more opportunities to get outside, explore and connect.

Spending time outdoors can build confidence, support wellbeing and create meaningful moments of fun and friendship. Whether it’s nature walks, outdoor games or community activities, spring is the perfect time to try something new.

At Disability Positive, we’re proud to support inclusive opportunities that help children feel confident, connected and part of their community. Let’s make this season one of growth, movement and belonging. 💜

For many people, small changes can make a huge difference, such as clear communication, flexible working, sensory awareness, time to process information, and being listened to without judgment.

Inclusion isn’t about adding a policy to a handbook. It’s about creating cultures where different ways of thinking and working are valued - not merely accommodated.

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’re encouraging organisations to move beyond awareness and towards meaningful change.

Every brain works differently, and that’s something to celebrate.

For some children, wearing earphones can help reduce sensory overwhelm, improve focus and make activities more enjoyable. Small adjustments like this can make a big difference.

Neurodivergent children don’t need to change who they are to fit into the world. The world needs to become more understanding, flexible and inclusive.

When we listen, adapt and remove barriers, children can thrive in ways that feel right for them. This week, we celebrate different ways of thinking, learning and experiencing the world.

What adjustments have made a positive difference for you or your child? 💬

As we mark the start of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’re reminded that different ways of thinking, learning and experiencing the world aren’t deficits; they are strengths.

Neurodivergent people bring creativity, innovation, problem-solving and perspective to our communities and workplaces. When environments are inclusive and barriers are removed, everyone benefits.

This week, we celebrate difference, challenge stigma and champion organisational change that makes inclusion the norm, not the exception.

What does neurodiversity mean to you? 💬

We’re shining a light on our wonderful trustee, Jackson, and the valuable role he plays behind the scenes at Disability Positive.

Trustees help guide the strategic direction of our organisation, ensuring we stay focused on inclusion, accountability and creating meaningful change. Their insight, experience and dedication help us continue removing barriers and strengthening our services for the community.

Jackson’s commitment to Disability Positive reflects the passion and care that sits at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you, Jackson, for the time, leadership and perspective you bring to our Board. 💜

And the best part? We currently have spaces available in our Cheshire West (Chester) group.

"Disability Positive has been a life changer for our family…”

Hearing that our work has helped create opportunities and make a meaningful difference in everyday life is exactly why we do what we do.

Our services are about more than activities or support - they’re about confidence, independence, connection and belonging. Knowing that families feel supported and see positive change in their children’s daily lives means everything to our team.

Thank you to this member of our community for sharing such kind words, and thank you to every family who places their trust in us.

It was a pleasure to attend the event last week.

The event brought together professionals, organisations and leaders from across the sector, including speeches from board members, executive leaders and the Mayor. One particularly memorable moment focused on inclusion and the powerful impact music can have on people living with dementia, bringing everyone together to sing and clap along.

It was also a great opportunity to connect with social workers and partner organisations, including boltonmusicservice and Bolton College health and wellbeing teams and local agencies.

We were especially pleased to hear such positive feedback about our services from social workers and others, with one commenting: “It’s lovely to put a face to the name, you are both always so lovely and respond quickly with any queries we have.”

It was wonderful to be part of such a positive event and to hear how our work is making a difference. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences and feedback. 💜

Our Volunteer Co-ordinator, Cate, recently attended the Volunteer Fair at University of Chester, sharing information about how students can get involved with Disability Positive.

Events like this are a great opportunity to connect with people who are passionate about making a difference and to talk about the impact volunteering can have, both within our community and for personal development.

Volunteers are at the heart of Disability Positive, helping us remove barriers, build inclusion and support people across our services.

If you’re interested in volunteering with us, we’d love to hear from you. 💜
