How you can support us

Become a member

DAD is a user-led organisation and a registered company. By becoming a member you can support and influence our work. Membership is free and is open to disabled people and non-disabled people who actively support the mission and aims of DAD. As a member of the company you receive an invitation to general meetings, opportunities to attend other ‘member only’ events and social events and most importantly have voting rights. If you already receive support or information from DAD you automatically become a non company member and will receive this newsletter.

Volunteer with DAD

Without its volunteers DAD would not be able to operate. Every year DAD relies on the valuable work delivered by over 60 regular volunteers across all of its projects. In addition DASH play services annually recruits and trains an additional 40-50 volunteers to support its holiday playschemes.

The Access Interest Group is always looking for peoples views on access issues, email aig@darlingtondisability.org
