This is the third of a series of annual UK wide surveys produced by Leonard Cheshire Disability. The principal objective of the Review is to assess the experiences of disabled people across a number of key areas of life including: education; employment; health and social care; housing; transport and citizenship. It was compiled using responses to a detailed questionnaire that was completed by 1253 people drawn from across the UK. Respondents experienced a range of different impairments, were aged over 18 and included a mix of men and women, single and married, parents and non-parents. They were drawn from nine ethnic groups and from all regions of the UK.

One way in which disabled people can demonstrate their independence is by taking up voluntary work. The problem is, however, that the premises are not always physically accessible. Their advertising does not always make it clear that disabled people are as welcome as anyone else. Despite their much-vaunted equal opportunities policies, they are not always prepared to foot the bill for the extra support disabled volunteers sometimes need (there are not always extra costs involved). And the kind of training they provide for their volunteers rarely takes account of disabled people in its design, content and delivery.
