Voice of the Disabled is an organisation that represents persons who are differently abled throughout St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It was founded by Mrs. Cheryl Adams and seventeen other members with disabilities, on 22 October 2016. Adams is an educator who is visually impaired. She worked for 20 years at the School for Children with Special Needs in Georgetown, St. Her duties included Braille instruction, leading singing and music classes for students, teaching IT lessons and providing clerical support to the school. "Due to the many issues and challenges faced by persons with disability in SVG, I strongly feel the call of God on my life, to advocate on behalf of persons with disabilities. Twice while sitting at home, I heard a voice asking me, Why don't you be an advocator for persons with disability? Hence, the reason this group was formed."
