Our Vision
Our vision is to abolish disability by building a world which is Fair4All - free of the barriers which disable people. To achieve this, we have built a working grassroots community of over 180 local disabled volunteers who work together, supported by staff to achieve our goals.
What We Do
We tackle the issues which most affect disabled people in Buckinghamshire by whatever means necessary. We aim to support all issues impacting a disabled individual via our 16 projects. The 16 projects can be categorised to 1 of 3 service lines - Disability Services, Fair4All, and Reach4Work.
We also have a Reach4Work service which is a professional wrap-around service for our disabled volunteers who want to move into or closer to work. It encourages inclusion and independent living, whilst making sure our volunteers don't feel lonely. Reach4Work is the only Buckinghamshire disability employment scheme which remained fully open and expanded during the pandemic, as we understood the mental pressures faced disproportionately by disabled people during this isolating period.
We need the support from you to ensure we keep running as a charity.
How you can support Buckinghamshire Disability Service:
Donate to us
Your money would be used to cover the costs of running of our essential projects to ultimately benefit disabled people in Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas.
Raise money for us
Have a fun idea to raise money? Or looking to take on a personal challenge in the name of charity? Consider running a half-marathon or organise a local bake sale among friends and family. We’re excited to hear your ideas!
Volunteer for us (if you are over 16 years of age)
Our volunteers at BuDS form the bedrock of all that we do at BuDS. If you are over the age of 16, committing a set amount of time each week to help disabled people would help us incredibly.
Spread the word
Feel free to promote BuDS amongst friends, family and local businesses, raising awareness of our goal to help disabled people. You can do this through word-of-mouth or by ‘shouting out’ our social media channels.
Consider taking it one step further by writing to your local MP about how we could make our area inclusive for disabled people, with the goal of making Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas Fair4All.
