Disability Support, led by a disabled CEO with deep community roots, is dedicated to helping disabled individuals and those facing hardship stay independent and connected.

We’re currently facing a critical funding gap and need your support.

Any donation will make a real difference and can be doubled through our Aviva Crowdfunder, where every pound donated is matched.

Dear Nottingham.

Our appeal for support has now been featured in the local newspaper as we fight to keep Disability Support’s life-changing services available to the people who rely on us most. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/nottingham-disability-charity-scraping-bottom-10948394?fbclid=IwY2xjawRoBc5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeBbejErZVZLUG6eXbQeC3yidbpvxsBLwgOlueceBwHTCuk8F7BjMVRdMPv5Q_aem_vZXpXirNTro_WcRe4IT4iw

We're in "Squeaky Bum mode" until Sept. We have many initiatives that will deliver financial returns later in the year. But until then, we really need support.

(I can assure you I have not and will not stop completing grant applications.)

I have paid out of my own pocket to rebuild our website, which will be available very soon (www.dsnottingham.com). There, we will celebrate our successes and showcase the charity's impact and reach.

We will also have a dedicated space for sponsors and donors, and we will highlight the companies we are working with.

The first two partners to be highlighted will be My Sight Nottinghamshire and Disability Direct, so watch this space.

We are doing everything we can to secure funding and protect services, but we urgently need community support right now to help us continue.

We understand not everyone can donate, so please ask friends and family to chip in or share our campaign to help us reach more supporters.

Do share our efforts on Social Media and feel proud to be part of a community supporting Disability Support. Tag us and help spread the word.

Together we can achieve this, but we cannot do it without your support.

About Disability Support

Disability Support is a community-led organisation that provides practical, person-centred support to help disabled people overcome everyday barriers and live more independent, secure lives. Our work focuses on financial well-being, life skills, and access to essential support.

We are disability-led. Our Founder and CEO is a disabled person with lived experience of the challenges our community faces. This ensures our services are designed with, not for, disabled people—accessible, inclusive, and grounded in real-world understanding.

Why are we crowdfunding?
Disabled people are being pushed into financial crisis by rising living costs, complex systems, and a lack of accessible support.

Disability Support is the sole tenant at Old Basford Community Centre, which has been a fantastic home for eight members of staff. We are firmly committed to empowering people to make choices and decisions about independent living opportunities. Our staff help people become self-advocates for change in the things that impact their lives.​

We need your support to continue our work!

Can you donate, organise a fundraising event, or participate in a sponsored activity? Would your business consider making a financial contribution for tax relief? Can your staff volunteer with us? You could also host a car boot sale or fill a swear jar for donations.

We’d love to hear from you!
