About Us

Aidan & Helen Convery

Uniting Disabilities UK is committed to promoting equality for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, political and religious views, or (most importantly) disability, illness, and impairment.

The primary aim of Uniting Disabilities is to promote social networking between both individuals and organizations who share a common bond of striving to overcome in their own specific circumstances, whether that struggle be related to employment, education, housing, care, or many other different battles we can all face on a daily basis. Independence is something many people take for granted, but for others it can be a real battle just to obtain our basic needs never mind our rights? That's where we come in because Uniting Disabilities aim is to become a “one-stop shop” for information, advice, practical help, and , hopefully sometime in the future, funding for projects specifically targeted at improving the quality of disabled peoples lives. It is important to note that whilst we are not aligned to any one political organization we aim to keep people advised of their rights and are prepared to offer support to obtain said rights in whatever way necessary on an individual basis.

The current Disability Discrimination legislation has, in our mind, far to many gaps and loopholes that can be, and are being exploited? It is our experience that changing the law by protests or other radical means, can, realistically, take far too long so it may be more beneficial to get the best for people using the law as it stands? The reality of disability is that the majority of us cannot wait years for goods & services, we want (and need) them now! With that in mind, UD is committed to helping people achieve their independence by any and all means within the framework of current legislation.

The social networking side of what we do will be achieved by putting people (and/or, groups) in touch with one another to enable a sharing of ideas and a pooling of resources. Uniting Disabilities will, we hope, become an “umbrella organization” bringing people and groups together who share a common mission. Future plans include the construction of a national database that everyone can access which will contain useful links and information in your local area.
