Empowering & Enabling Disabled Adults and Carers.

Disability Can Do is a user led organisation that works for the benefit of Disabled Adults and Carers. We deliver FREE Information and Independent Community Advocacy Services,and promote volunteering opportunities. Many of our services are Volunteer delivered. We also provide this client group with a voice in their local community and beyond in order to improve their quality of life. The charity raises awareness of their needs,campaigns for better service provision, and changes in policy.
Why the community needs this charity

Consultation has proved there is an overwhelming perceived need for easily accessible information and advocacy services for both disabled adults and their carers within the County Borough of Caerphilly due to a large gap in provision of these services. Can Do are bridging this gap and shaping our services according to what this client group tell us they want. We continually talk to disabled adults and carers, and our strategic plans are shaped by service user involvement.

Results and outcomes

Through Can Do's Information Service, Advocacy and Volunteering provision, our client group have told us they now have a better understanding of available services; improved quality of life; improved health and emotional well being; increased choice and control; and that they have been allowed to maintain their dignity and respect. Carers report decrease in stress levels and feeling more in control of decisions relating to care and daily living.
