Equality Together - Disability Rocks the Boat

Equality Together is once again taking to the water to compete in the Lord Mayor's Dragon Boat race. Our aim is to have as many disabled people as possible in our team, supported by staff and families. Equality Together's aim is: To inspire and support people who face disabling barriers: to challenge and overcome these barriers and to live independent and active lives.
