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.

We took a well-earned moment to celebrate together at our Christmas gathering at Cottons Hotel & Spa, and what a lovely time we had!

From laughter and good food to a chance to unwind after a busy year supporting our community, it was the perfect way to reflect on everything we’ve achieved together in 2025.

Most importantly, it reminded us how grateful we are for our incredible team, the people who make Disability Positive such a supportive, welcoming and impactful organisation all year round. 💜✨

Who else is feeling festive?

We’re kicking off our Christmas BSL series with the signs for 'Christmas Card' and 'Christmas Tree'.

We’d love to know… have you put your tree up yet? Or are you waiting a little longer before the decorations come out?

Keep an eye out for more Christmas signs throughout December, perfect for learning something new this season.

We love working with businesses that share our vision for inclusion.

Did you know that up to a quarter of the UK population has a lived experience of disability or a long-term health condition, with a spending power of £274 billion every year?

By improving accessibility and inclusion, your business not only does the right thing — you also open your doors to a powerful and valuable market.

At Disability Positive, our business services can help you:
✔ Understand the challenges and rights of disabled people
✔ Build a more inclusive workplace culture
✔ Improve customer experience and accessibility

Let’s start a conversation about how we can work together. Visit https://zurl.co/wAMOQ to learn more.

Disability History Month is a time to recognise the disabled leaders who refused to be sidelined and reshaped society because of it.

From activists and scientists to policy-shapers, disabled people have always led change, challenged inequality, and expanded what inclusion truly means.

We’re honouring:
✨ Rosa May Billinghurst – the suffragette who fought for women’s rights using her adapted tricycle
✨ Stephen Hawking – the world-renowned physicist who proved that disability never limits brilliance
✨ Baroness Jane Campbell – a lifelong advocate who transformed independent living and disability rights in the UK

Their legacies fuel our mission today. At Disability Positive, we continue the fight for choice, control, dignity, and equality for disabled people everywhere.

Learn how we continue their work on our website.

Happy International Day of Disabled People! 💙

This year’s theme, “Fostering Disability Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress,” is something we live and breathe every day at Disability Positive.

When disabled people lead, shape services and influence decisions, communities become more accessible, more understanding and more inclusive for everyone.

In this video, our CEO, Lynne Turnbull, shares why lived experience is essential for real progress and how our work helps remove barriers so disabled people can thrive.

Disability isn’t the problem. Barriers are.

At Disability Positive, we’re proud to stand by the Social Model of Disability – the idea that people are disabled not by their conditions, but by the barriers society creates.

Inclusion means removing those barriers so everyone has choice, control, and belonging. 💜

Ahead of 'International Day of Disabled People', join us in creating a society where no one is left out. Learn more at https://zurl.co/DlYcG

Inclusion isn’t about a single day — it’s about what we do, every day.

From making spaces accessible to listening to lived experience, real inclusion happens in the small, daily actions that create equal opportunities for all.

As we approach the 'International Day of Disabled People', let’s recommit to making inclusion part of everything we do.
