02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Scope was established for the promotion of the equality, diversity, independence and health of disabled people, especially those with cerebral palsy. We won’t stop until we achieve a society where all disabled people enjoy equality and fairness. We are determined to change the future. Together, we are a collective movement of disabled people, campaigners, donors, volunteers, communities, and businesses. We work every day to challenge attitudes and end disability inequality. Our strategy for An Equal Future with disabled people is a ten year strategy focusing on three long term goals: ending the disability price tag, closing the disability employment gap and transforming attitudes. We do this by providing help and support to disabled people and their families and campaigning and influencing others including partners, employers, the government and the general public.
