All Disabilities Matter
Established to offer assistance to individuals with disabilities and mental health concerns. Our aim is to provide a supportive space for people with disabilities or their caregivers, offering a listening ear for navigating life's challenges. We believe that by sharing our experiences and exchanging information on sources of help and support, we can create a stronger community.
Our group comprises everyday individuals who encounter various challenges in today's society.
By expanding our community, we can increase awareness and drive positive change.
Events
We host two support groups every Wednesday and Friday for parents/carers and individuals with disabilities. It's a chance to share experiences, seek support from peers, and enjoy a chat over coffee and perhaps some cake. Additionally, we organize a SEND social club on Monday evenings at the wonderful Cafe HQ in Newton Aycliffe. Participants engage in crafts, games, and music sessions, fostering a fun and social atmosphere. Don't miss our monthly discos at the Phoenix Club, a highlight of the month and a fantastic event to be a part of. Feel free to take a look at the posters below and join us for these exciting activities.
