About Us - Our Team
Management and Governance
As a registered charity, Disability Sheffield has a management committee of Trustees who have personal experience of disability and the barriers that disabled people face in society. Our Trustees are committed to the concept of a social model of disability and a rights-based approach to services and public policy. They are accountable to both Companies House and the Charity Commission and ensure that Disability Sheffield has systems in place to protect the interests of the organisation and its members.
