Shaftesbury is the disability charity that enables each child, young person and adult to live a life that adds up for them.
Through our services, we enable people with disabilities to thrive. We work to put the things in place that all add up to living well. We provide a wide range of care, education, vocation and rehabilitation services. In all we do, we help people become more confident and independent and to grow community connections that improve wellbeing.
We work to change what’s unlivable – we help people tackle and overcome the barriers in their lives, including any that prevent them participating fully in society, because this negatively affect people’s wellbeing and life expectancy. Our services strive to transform how people with disabilities connect with the communities they choose to be part of.
