ABOUT US

We promote the independence and inclusion of Disabled people, challenge discrimination and work to achieve social change

Camden Disability Action is a Disabled People’s User-Led Organisation with a mission to provide quality services and support so Disabled Camden residents can live the life they choose. Aligned with the Social Model of Disability, we are focussed on removing the social and physical barriers which society unnecessarily puts in the way – resulting in the marginalisation and exclusion of people with impairments and long-term health conditions.

We are very proud to be a user-led organisation and especially welcome applications from people who identity as Disabled. As such, we can offer a guaranteed interview to Disabled people who only meet the essential criteria for the role.
