About Us
We are a charity run by people with a disability, to help others with a disability, their family, friends, carers, personal assistants and anyone who has an interest in the problems surrounding disability matters.
We are a united voice working together to influence decision makers and campaigning to remove physical, communicational, and attitudinal barriers in our community. Find out more about us.
This website is designed to be the main portal in our area for finding information focused on issues surrounding persons with disabilities.
We do not have paid staff, all those who work for us are volunteers. An important source of income for the charity is your donations. Disability Watford could run for a day on a donation of £10. You can support us by becoming a volunteer, or making a donation.
