Why we do it (The Need)
There are many barriers for the inclusion of disabled and vulnerable people into society. Society itself can be a major barrier due to a lack of understanding, opportunities and awareness which will stop disabled people from reaching their true potential.
Many disabled people are isolated, often bullied, and lacking in self-confidence and wellbeing.
Based in Everton, the 43rd most deprived neighbourhood in England (Office for National Statistics), low income and high disability levels result in loneliness as well as a lack of opportunity.
