Surrey Coalition Of Disabled People

The Coalition enable and empower disabled people and those living with a long-term health condition to be an active and central part of the community. They proactively work with health, social care and community partners to co-produce services, strategies and policy.

Their work focuses on 6 areas:

1. Getting involved: Their specialist Interest groups meet regularly with key health, social care and community partners to co-produce services and to feedback any concerns or issues that are affecting Disabled people.
2. Technology: Access to technology and advice. If you don’t have access to technology or you need a helping hand to use your device, the Technology team can help.
3. Mental health: A network of people who have had mental ill-health, and carers, who work together with the NHS and social care service providers to improve mental health care.
4. Physical activity: Access to advice and support to help you get active. They offer a one-to-one appointment with their physical activity expert to help you get active. They also run Get More Active Get Together group activity sessions.
5. Campaigning: The Coalition get involved with national and local campaigns that benefit their members.
6. Keeping you connected: The Coalition run a range of virtual social events including Book Club, Glee Club and a Virtual Cafe.
