Description:
Breakthrough is a Manchester based disabled people's organisation. We are majority controlled by disabled people and most of our staff are disabled people. We promote the rights, responsibilities and respect of disabled people. We work alongside disabled people to be independent, to seek employment and develop their careers.
We work locally, regionally and nationally with employers and statutory providers to address barriers to disabled people’s participation in society.
We promote the Social Model of disability and independent living.
We prioritise lived experience leadership and coproductive approaches.
We run holistic employment projects in Manchester focusing on systemic barrier removal, facilitate the multi agency Manchester Disability Collaborative and work to improve the health and wellbeing of disabled people across our diverse communities.
