About Disability East
Disability East (the East of England Disability Information Network) is a consortium of disability organisations in the Eastern Region of England. We have combined to create a regional voice, together with a network of services for disabled people, by sharing our knowledge and expertise. Disability Essex (the Essex Disabled People's Association Ltd) is a founder member of the Disability East consortium.
Disability East's membership of COVER (Community and Voluntary Forum Eastern Region) enables us to maintain close links with other Voluntary Sector 'clusters' through organisations such as MENTER (Minority Ethnic Eastern Region) and Rural Action East.
We have a representative appointed to the East of England Regional Assembly, where our shared concerns and positive ideas about disability can be heard. When problems affecting service providers are identified, we have the resource amongst our wide membership, to find specific and expert advice.
