Disability Action campaigns on behalf of its members on disability issues and works to bring about positive change to the social, economic and cultural life of people with disabilities and consequently to the wider community. It aims to ensure that disabled individuals enjoy the same rights as all citizens by supporting inclusion, influencing Government policy and changing attitudes in partnership with disabled people. In this vein, the organisation has a long and rich history of improving access for disabled people, providing information and resources, community development, mobility and transportation improvement, vocational training, and combating discrimination (source: http://www.disabilityaction.org/)
