Diversity n Disability (DnD)
Diversity n Disability, or DnD, is a self advocacy group run by and for ethnic people with a disability. The group supports people with a disability from ethnic backgrounds to learn about their rights and speak up for themselves.
DnD wants to empower people with a disability to believe in themselves and in what they can achieve in life.
The group:
• Runs a range of programs such as monthly support group meetings, accessible yoga, arts workshops
• Provides self advocacy training for people with a disability from ethnic backgrounds to learn to advocate for themselves and others
• Creates reports and resources about the experiences of people with disability from ethnic backgrounds
• Works with other self advocacy organisations and government to raise awareness
DnD supports ethnic people with a disability, but its services are open to all people with a disability. Get in touch!
The group meets once a month.
