Join Disability Sheffield’s Board of Trustees!
Would you like to use some of your spare time to make a real difference to the lives of disabled people in Sheffield?
Disability Sheffield is entering a period of organisational change and renewal. This is a crucial time to bring new voices, skills, and perspectives to our Board of Trustees to help shape the future of the charity.

Our services include:
