Our Organisations
Adapt (NE) is a registered charity, a company limited by guarantee and a social enterprise which is managed by a Trustee Board of volunteers with a wide range of areas of expertise. We are a community-based organisation providing services to people in North East England with the aim of promoting an inclusive society.
We exist to promote independence and choice. We support disabled people and carers through the provision of services, support and information, and by tackling issues affecting disabled people both locally and nationally.
Our team of Support Mentors and In-Work Supporters are committed to working with people to reach their potential! We employ lots of people who are neurodivergent or have a learning disability, which has helped us achieve some fantastic outcomes for the people we support.
Inclusion North raises awareness of the barriers to inclusion for people with a learning disability, autistic people and their families, and work to remove them.
Inclusion North include people with a learning disability, autistic people , families, carers, the organisations that support them and communities in our work.
As an independent advocacy charity we stand shoulder to shoulder with people across the North of England to champion fairness and equality.
