Our mission is to bring together and support charities and other organisations working with disabled people and others who need support, mainly in Lambeth and other parts of London.
We support disabled people and their organisations by providing an accessible disability hub based at our building at 336 Brixton Road.
We are an independent registered charity, a sustainable social enterprise and a company limited by guarantee. For forty years we have worked closely with disabled people and the charities which support them.
We have strong links with the local community. People can access advice, support and other services from the wide range of disability and other organisations based here.
We are innovative
We are a self-financing charity providing accessible and affordable office space to charities and other organisations delivering services to disabled and older people, carers and others who need support. We also have an accessible conference centre which is used by local organisations. Our basement area is used as an art gallery and studio space.
We are unique in providing ‘seed-bed’ opportunities at a peppercorn rent for start-up disability organisations working towards becoming registered charities. We are currently supporting a disability arts project and an employment and training initiative as start-up seeds.
We provide employment opportunities and work placements for disabled people and in 2010 were awarded the prestigious ‘Star Social Firm’ quality standard, by Social Firms UK, now Social Firms England.
Our vision
We have exciting plans to refurbish and extend our premises which will transform the building and the local environment. We have invested in our future by commissioning an innovative design from an award winning architect and we have received planning permission to develop our scheme.
