Visit our Disability Education category for information regarding Disability Scholarships, Grants, and Financial Assistance
A disability award might include a local group that has adapted its project to include and involve a person with a disability, a school that has gone out of its way to involve a child in a mainstream class, someone employing a person with a learning disability in a real job, perhaps by adapting the job or workplace as needed; or an individual that has gone the extra mile to encourage people with disabilities to get involved in their community. The list of disability awards for groups, individuals, and companies is endless!
There are many different categories and types of Awards for disabilities, for example:
- Awards for people who have advanced the rights of people with disability.
- Young Disability Challenge Awards for younger people who have advanced the rights of people with a disability.
- Business Awards for large and small businesses which have improved opportunities for people with a disability, such as greater inclusion, participation and employment.
- Accessible Housing Award for property developers, builders and others in the building sector that have developed innovative and accessible private dwellings for people with a disability.
- Local Government Award for councils which have implemented substantial changes to improve physical, social, economic and cultural access and inclusion for people with disability and their families.
- Social Inclusion Awards for schools and community groups which have actively built in inclusion and full participation of people with disability alongside other students or members of community groups.
Listed below are awards that recognise individuals and organisations whose work is directly related to disability, as well as individuals and community organisations that have chosen to include a disability focus in their wider role.
