Stepping Forward facilitates and accelerates access to essential services, information and resources so that disabled people and carers can live a full life. We work from our Disability Hub, created two years ago in Reading, which promotes community and provides free/low cost space to disability organisations. We link in solidarity with international initiatives, supporting work on albinism, epilepsy and autism in several African countries.
We support disabled individuals and carers through our Disability Advice & Support Service, helping people to access essential support, eg DLA/PIP, and securing specialist equipment. We deliver disability awareness sessions with schools. Despite progress in equality legislation, negative public attitudes and awkwardness about disability prevail.
We joined Connect Reading to meet local organisations, and to make new connections.
