A Disability Solutions West Midlands project
Connecting you to your community
Life can be challenging when you live with a disability or a long-term or life-limiting health condition. These challenges can feel even more overwhelming if you live alone, feel isolated, or find that your health is affecting your confidence, wellbeing or family life.
DisAbility Connect provides personalised, community-focused support to help you feel more connected, more confident and better supported in your daily life. Our Social Prescribing+ approach helps you access meaningful activities, community resources and services that support your independence, wellbeing and overall quality of life.
What the project can offer
Using our in-house Needs Assessment and Personal Progress (NAPP) tool, we explore all areas of your life to understand your needs, strengths and goals — creating a personalised support plan so you get the right help at the right time.
