About Us
🔹Your one-stop shop for disability advocacy news in Ireland!
About Us
We are an independent, disabled-led non-profit, centralising disability advocacy news in Ireland so that Disabled People, DPOs, families and allies have equal access to information about rights, consultations and ways to create change.
Our Vision
Our vision is an Ireland where disabled people are recognised and respected as equal rights holders, with their voices and representative organisations at the centre of policy and decision-making.
Our Mission
Our mission is to connect disabled people, their organisations and allies with information, resources and opportunities to participate fully in civic life, shape policy and support advocacy.
What We Do
Our work is grounded in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), especially:
Article 8 (Awareness-Raising)
Article 4(3) (Participation & Consultation)
Article 21 (Access to Information)
Article 29 (Participation in political and public life)
* Ensuring that Disabled People, DPOs, family members and allies stay up to date on the latest news and consultations.
* Creating resources to raise awareness about the UNCRPD and disability rights to build capacity and raise awareness.
* Amplifying the work of DPOs, promoting their crucial role in shaping law and policy.
We push for systemic change through:
✅ Information sharing
To support capacity building, connection and participation.
✅ Awareness Raising
Of rights, systems, consultations and the work of Disabled Persons Organisations (DPOs).
✅ Promoting co-creation
Through the consultation and active involvement of disabled people, especially through their DPOs.
