Welcome to disAbility Cornwall and Isles of Scilly
We’re here for people of all ages living with a long-term health condition or disability, and for their carers and families too.
As a user-led organisation at the heart of our community, we provide professional support services, create opportunities for engagement, and lead with lived experience to shape inclusive policy, systems, and services that work for everyone. Across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, 28% of people live with a long-term health condition or disability, one of the highest rates in England. 37% of households include at least one disabled person.
That’s why our mission matters — to make sure every voice is heard, every person is valued, and every community is included.
Testimonials about our services:
Humans Cornwall
"I write to thank the staff from your Humans team that have supported me following my recent accident. It is hard to express my gratitude at the highest level as the two staff coming every day to support me was professional, helpful and very kind.”
DIAL
“I just wanted to give you a big, big thank you for all your help and advice. I had to check a direct debit today and found I had some money from PIP. I burst into tears because I thought it had been refused as I had not heard anything. So very, very grateful for all your help, I can’t thank you enough.”
Dementia Together
“It's good to know you are there for anything if we need you.”
Have a Go Days
“My son doesn't have many friends. But when he attends the Have A Go Days he's bright, chatty and really likes to talk to others. It’s helped him to see that he's not the only one with difficulties.”
Cornwall Carers Services
“I very much appreciate the help I have received; it’s been very comforting during this stressful time. A big thank you.”
PAMAS
“Takes the stress out of all the paperwork I would have to do. Gives me more time with my son.”
DIAL
“Without your kind help and advice we would be in dire straits.”
