Help us turn disability in to Ability…. Today!!

In 2019 we renamed our Social Enterprise from Disability Today..... to Ability Today!  It's time to start shouting about what we can do and not what we can't.  

The platform we provide brings our community together to live better connected lives.   A community that is often forgotten, left behind or hard to reach, and who in many cases doesn’t know about the help and support that is available to them.

Today, there is still a lack of awareness amongst the disabled community about the services, organisations and support network available to enable them to live a more active and connected life. At Ability Today, we’re on a mission to change this..

We’ve created a knowledge hub, a place where the disabled community can find out about new products, services and organisations that aim to offer tools and teach skills to help them live better, more empowered and fulfilled lives. 

Help us connect the unconnected, supporting us in our journey to be more inclusive, and fuel a new generation of disabled pioneers to continue pushing the boundaries.

The funding will help us achieve our ultimate goal: Become the first Disabled News Reporting TV channel in Great Britain.

So in 2019 it felt like the right time to rebrand with a more positive name and message.  So today … we focus on Ability!



Over the last year, we’ve grown our network to over 30,000 connections, which wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our 15 wonderful dedicated volunteers – a group of ingenious individuals who have come with a wide range of abilities; all with a desire to inspire, motivate and raise the self-belief of a community often left behind.

In return we’ve nurtured their strengths and helped them develop a wide range of skills in web development, social media, filming, editing and movie production.  With their newly acquired skills, we send our volunteers out as roving reporters on assignments to cover new adventures and experiences.  They create great new content for the website and inspire the wider community to go out and explore the world around them.



We offer opportunities for our volunteers to trial activities they previously believed to be impossible for them….water-skiing, skydiving, gliding, flying, and many more…. 

Creating new role models for the younger generation to aspire to.

This has been a fantastic chapter in our journey… giving our disabled volunteers new skills and aspirations for what the future will bring. Opening up undiscovered and untapped potential to raise belief and confidence.

For some.... Shortening the road map back to paid employment. 

Some of our Achievements so far…

Our founder Grant has been networking with business leaders, politicians, and influencers.  We’ve had great support from Michael Gove MP, Sarah Newton MP (the then Disability Minister), the Varkey Foundation, Santander and the Lord Mayor of Surrey Heath, local councillors and charities.

 We are proud to have recently won the 2019 Lotus award for innovation and in 2019 we received a grant from UnLtd for social entrepreneurship, giving Ability Today a broader platform in the disability forum.

We are excited to have launched our own Ambassador program, with Olivia Gallagher (Young Sports Personality of the Year 2018) becoming our first official ambassador and patron.  

Our Goals:

1.  Accelerate our volunteer program, helping individuals realise their potential

2.  Launch the academy for disabled journalists

3. Provide our team with the tools and skills to go out and report on the disabled world

All of this will be stepping stones to help us achieve our ultimate goal to become the first Disabled News Reporting TV channel Great Britain has ever had! 

So we need funds to provide:

• Opportunities - Increasing opportunities for our team of volunteers to experience and report on a wide range of activities

• Equipment - The purchase of accessible workstations, for a disabled person to access computers and studio equipment needed to produce the video and editorial content.  Providing the tech to learn new skills

• Support - A support network of workers to assist our disabled volunteers on their activities

Help us connect the unconnected, supporting us in our journey to be more inclusive, and empower a new generation to continue pushing the boundaries.

Keep making the impossible… Possible!!
