We Are Made Up of Three Parts, United by One Vision
DEA National, DEA UK, and DEA Africa work together, united by a shared vision of equality and inclusion. Each community offers a range of different projects, tailored to local needs and designed to support, empower, and include disabled people.

Our work is delivered through three interconnected pillars, each playing a distinct role in creating lasting change:
• DEA National: Leading national campaigns, research, advocacy, and the development of accessible resources that influence policy and promote disability inclusion.
• DEA UK: Delivering community-based programmes, workshops, and support that improve health, wellbeing, and inclusion across the UK.
• DEA Africa: Working with local partners to expand access to education, livelihoods, and opportunities for disabled people across Africa.
Projects Across Every Community
Disability Equals Ability delivers projects across communities nationally. Anyone can get in touch to find out more or get involved. Each community offers a range of different projects, tailored to local needs and designed to support, empower, and include disabled people.
DEA UK
DEA UK develops and delivers national projects that support disabled people, their families, and professionals. We campaign actively on global disability issues, engaging with national movements to amplify awareness and promote inclusion.
Health Horizons Wellbeing Project: funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, a free workshop series running across Wiltshire throughout 2026 for adults living with disability.
Care Act Assessment Eligibility Resources (coming soon): a free, accessible resource series helping people understand whether they're eligible for adult social care support.
DEA Africa
DEA Africa focuses on delivering direct, practical support to some of the most underserved communities on the continent.
In Zimbabwe, we support a child living with HIV at the Patricia Jabangwe Children's Home, covering school fees and educational supplies.
We partner with the Nyashadzedu Disabled Trust, supporting individuals with albinism with sunscreen and corrective eyewear, and support JK's Orphanage and Special Needs Academy with educational materials and therapy equipment.
