chose not to advertise in this way. Contact your local CVS if you cannot find what you are

needed to live independent lives as full and valued members of the
community. We want to raise awareness and improve every one’s
understanding about the crucial role carers play in supporting other
people. Every carer should have access to support, information and
advice so that they can manage the impact of caring upon their own
lives.

needed to live independent lives as full and valued members of the
community. We want to raise awareness and improve every one’s
understanding about the crucial role carers play in supporting other
people. Every carer should have access to support, information and

Activities:
We are an organisation run by people with disabilities for people with

We believe that every person with a disability or long term health
condition should be treated with respect and have equal rights and
opportunities; they should be able to control and manage the support
needed to live independent lives as full and valued members of the
community.
We want to raise awareness and improve every one’s understanding
about the crucial role carers play in supporting other people. Every
carer should have access to support, information and advice so that
they can manage the impact of caring upon their own lives.

Activities:
We are an organisation run by people with disabilities for people
with disabilities, their families and their carers.
We believe that every person with a disability or long term health
condition should be treated with respect and have equal rights and
opportunities; they should be able to control and manage the support
needed to live independent lives as full and valued members of the
community.
We want to raise awareness and improve every one’s understanding
about the crucial role carers play in supporting other people. Every
carer should have access to support, information and advice so that
they can manage the impact of caring upon their own lives.
