Mission

At Disability Rights UK we strengthen the voice of disabled people to make our rights real, as an effective national organisation led by people with a wide range of impairments or health conditions. Disability Rights UK was formed through a unification of Disability Alliance, Radar and National Centre for Independent Living on 1 January 2012. Get Yourself Active works to the mission and vision of DR UK but has a more specific mission to create more opportunities for disabled people to acces sport and physical activity.

Additional Information

Disability Rights UK works to create a society where everyone with lived experience of disability or health conditions can participate equally as full citizens. Get Yourself Active is a project funded by Sport England which will develop a model to grow the number of disabled people being active and playing sport, through working with health and social care professionals and sports providers. DR UK in turn is working with three parnters in Leicester, Cheshire and Norfolk to develop the model locally.
