About us

Disabled people are routinely discriminated against and face barriers to exercising basic rights such as access to health care, education, housing, transport and public protection. RADAR seeks to remove these barriers by informing, advocating and empowering. By supporting RADAR you will be helping us to achieve full human rights for millions of disabled people in the UK.

Formed in 1977 as the Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation, RADAR is a national organisation run by and working for disabled people, with a membership of about 600 disability organisations and individuals.

Through extensive links and influence in Westminster and Whitehall, RADAR fast-tracks the opinions and concerns of its members of policy-makers and legislators.

What is RADAR?

RADAR is the UK's leading pan-disability charity working to represent the need and expectations of over 10.8 million disabled people in the UK.

RADAR plays a key role at the heart of the disability movement, acting with independence to clarify and channel the needs and expectations of disabled people and organisations to Westminster and Whitehall.

In support of this, RADAR pioneers upbeat and proactive campaigns to bring about changes in individual attitudes and behaviour. A key ingredient in these is our strategic external alliances and partnerships in support of social inclusion for disabled people. RADAR recognises that, to facilitate disabled people's full participation in our communities, there is a need to work broadly not narrowly and to explain and engage rather than to hector.
