WELCOME TO D.I.A.L

"We’re there when you need us!"

We are here to provide independent, confidential information and advice on every aspect of disability.

We aim to open up the widest possible range of choices for disabled people thus enabling them to exercise control over their own lives.

Our help and support is available to all, free of charge!
