Hampshire Coalition of Disabled People (HCODP)
We promote the active participation of Disabled People in securing the necessary facilities and support to ensure maximum choice through full inclusion into all aspects of society. This is centred around the impairment and disability distinction and the idea of disability being socially created, we maintain that Disabled People are not a 'problem' - rather that the 'problem' is the way society is organised. Disabled People are people, like anyone else.

Baywatch Campaign 5.0

Many disabled people rely on a car to get around. Although there is some accessible public transport it`s still few and far between in many areas. To make full use of their car disabled people rely on being able to park close to their destination. The blue badge scheme and the provision of designated parking for disabled people is supposed to make it easier but all too often disabled people find they can not park because other non-badge holders have parked in the disabled spaces. The Baywatch Campaign has been set up with the objective of ending this abuse.

Aspire

Our services cover a diverse range of areas, all of which we know are in demand by many of the 40,000 people living with spinal cord injury in the UK. Sometimes we are called upon to provide a practical solution; a grant for a wheelchair that will give the user independent mobility for the first time since their injury or supported housing that will allow the tenant to move out of a care home, for example.
