Supporting disabled young people to lead change.

YDAS is a disability-led organisation working alongside disabled young people to build leadership, strengthen advocacy and create change.

We support disabled young people to understand their rights, influence decisions that affect their lives and shape a more inclusive future.

We work with young people who identify as:

  • Having a disability
  • Having a health condition or chronic illness
  • Neurodivergent
  • Deaf, deaf or hard of hearing
  • Having lived experience of mental health issues 
    Blind or have low vision
