Inclusion Scotland (IS) is a consortium of organisations of disabled people and disabled individuals. Through a process of structured development we aim to draw attention to the physical, social, economic, cultural and attitudinal barriers that affect our everyday lives as disabled people in Scotland.

We work to promote Independent living. This means all disabled people having the same freedom, choice, dignity and control as other citizens at home, at work and in the community. It does not necessarily mean living by yourself or fending for yourself. It means rights to practical assistance and support to participate in society and live an ordinary life.

We also have a team of Volunteer researchers, searching the internet for these opportunities.

The WDSA (UK) has been established in 2006 and it aims to both promote and support the wheelchair dance sport within the UK, as we consider it unfair for passionate individuals to be excluded from dancing.

We want to make wheelchair users believe that they can do anything, through this exciting and fun opportunity to develop themselves.
