Association of Disabled Professionals
Our services include the provision of employment advice, information and/or peer support for the very many disabled people who contact our helpline and their advisors or friends. We have a 24-hour answerphone service where disabled people can seek advice and support from another disabled person.

Baywatch Campaign
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. Comments: 0; Added: 03-10-2007)

Disapedia
Disapedia was created by Peter O'Connell on May 21st 2007. It was spurred on by the belief that, while there were many fantastic resources on the internet for disabled individuals, many were neglected, outdated and inaccessible. His belief was that a centralized location maintained by a community of disabled individuals would insure that the information on the website always remained up to date and could help ease the lives of other disabled people Comments: 0; Added: 09-10-2007)
