Aims of Dis:Course
Dis:Course welcomes voluntary organisations concerned with disability and long-term health issues who want to join us in creating a network of groups to share experience, monitor services and achieve change. Your organisation may be a charity or an informal community group, in Bracknell or the surrounding areas.
Dis:Course aims to:
- Provide support, resources and advice to community and voluntary organisations that are concerned with disability and/or long-term health conditions
- Make partnerships and networks between groups to pool resources and deliver projects
- Increase representation of these groups so we reflect the level of need in the borough
- Provide Disability Awareness Training to the wider voluntary sector and to local business
- Develop a close relationship with the local small business community
- Develop and maintain a database of organisations providing services or support specific to/accessible to disabled people
- Be the first point of contact for disabled people, their families and carers for advice, information and sign-posting to local groups
- Maximise awareness of what activities, services and support are available to them
We look forward to working with you.
