Disability awareness with a difference

What is We Are All Disabled?

We Are All Disabled is a Community Interest Company that inspires people to think differently about disability through challenging perceptions, attitudes and behaviours in a safe and supportive way.

A movement for positive change

Almost everyone has something that potentially limits their ability to fully participate in society, whether they identify as being disabled or not.

Our aim is to normalise disability as part of the human experience and close the binary divide between disabled and non-disabled.

We work with organisations to create real, positive and lasting cultural transformation through challenging perceptions of disability in the workplace and the wider community.

Disrupting the disability narrative to create positive cultural change

Disability awareness training with a difference

Whatever your goals as a business or organisation being more inclusive and having a positive working culture is both profitable and the right thing to do.

We don’t shy away from difficult topics and conversations but instead create a supportive space for participants to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, share their experiences, speak their truth and discuss challenging issues in order to inform, understand and inspire each other.

Our Disruptor training is not about policies, systems or ticking boxes, instead we get to the heart of what makes organisations tick.

Our ultimate goal is to create a global community, founded in the North East, which celebrates difference and promotes an affirmative approach to disability.

“Very insightful and really great to hear from someone who is prepared to open up about their disability because not all of us are lucky enough to have access to that sort of input, or have the confidence to ask questions”
