Disability Sanctuary started as a dream in late 2010. Whilst i was suffering with a disability of my own and becoming housebound i began to look online for socialisation. I managed to find disability forums and other communities but i soon felt that something was missing from them. This is where i began to dream of making a modern, friendly and vibrant community that was accessible to all and easy to navigate.
After pitching the idea around we managed to secure some funding so the work could finally begin. The funding has allowed us to provide the features you see on Disability Sanctuary and they are all on one website for your convenience, so no more changing from one website to another to find what you are looking for.
