About Us — Our History
Over 20 Years of Community Support in Sheffield.
Disability Sheffield has been providing support to disabled people in Sheffield for over 20 years. We have provided a wide range of services, groups and projects based on the needs of the community. We continue to put the needs of disabled people at the forefront of the work we do, and specifically target services and projects based on the feedback we receive from our community. Below is a brief timeline of some of the key dates in our history.
