Many people living with disabilities are no stranger to the kind of exclusion Covid-19 has forced on us. Suddenly, many of us are coming face to face with feelings of isolation from normal life, unable to see friends and family, travel, socialise or for some being fully quarantined at home.

    Situation

    We support people who were born with a disability or have suffered a disability later in life through illness or accident. The physical, mental and social needs are profound and diverse but the one thing they all experience is that disability can be very isolating. At this challenging time the needs of our community are highlighted more than ever. We need to continue providing support services that breakdown the isolation of disability – providing a world inclusive to all regardless of ability.

    Solution

    Our specialist physiotherapy, fitness and daily activities including art, gardening, baking, computing, games, sports and discussion groups, help disabled adults stay as independent as possible for as long as possible as well as providing unique opportunities to socialise. For many of our disabled adults a visit to White Lodge is their only escape from home. With the community’s experience of the covid-19 lockdown, we all have some temporary understanding of what isolation can feel like.
