Disability
 

-------------------------------------------

Mencap

Web: www.mencap.org.uk

Mencap works with people with learning disabilities, and has a youth participation officer. Mencap believes that everybody has gifts and by giving time and effort has something special to offer through volunteering. You may want to volunteer for one-off events, ongoing support for a person with a learning disability, regular weekly volunteering, a regular evening activity or volunteering during the day. Volunteering can be lots of fun, challenging and rewarding – we can help you find the right opportunity for you.

-------------------------------------------

National Autistic Society

Web: www.nas.org.uk

Realistically we will be able to support the involvement of young people at the high functioning (Aspergers) end of the Autistic Spectrum. We champion the rights and interests of all people with autism and aim to provide individuals with autism and their families with help, support and services that they can access, trust and rely upon and which can make a positive difference to their lives.

National Deaf Children’s Society

Web: www.ndcs.org.uk

Aiming to set up a NDCS deaf youth parliament.
We campaign every day to break down barriers faced by deaf children and young people. This means we lobby politicians, local authorities and private companies on issues ranging from schools to health care.

-------------------------------------------

Scope

Web: www.scope.org.uk

Scope is the disability organisation in England and Wales whose focus is people with cerebral palsy. Our aim is that disabled people achieve equality: a society in which they are as valued and have the same human and civil rights as everyone else.
