About
Birmingham DRC
Who We Are
Birmingham Disability Resource Centre (DRC) is a leading organisation led by, run by and working for disabled people in the West Midlands.
We work for an inclusive society where disabled people and those with health conditions are empowered to take control of their own lives and achieve their full potential.
The social model of disability underpins all our work, and we recognise that disabled people experience vast and varied barriers. These are frequently compounded depending on their identity.
DRC is inclusive to and works for the equality of all disabled people – regardless of age, gender identity, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion/belief and sex/ sexual orientation.
We are committed to improving representation across the board within our organisation and take an intersectional approach in all we do. We understand that, although our barriers and experiences may differ, our work for inclusion and equality benefits everyone.
What We Do
- We raise awareness and provide insight to effect system change, shape service design and future policy direction
- We deliver services and programmes to improve outcomes for disabled people, those with health conditions and their support networks.
- We are a community anchor organisation and work with local communities to develop innovative solutions to local issues.
