Disability Solutions West Midlands is a vibrant, Stoke‑on‑Trent–based DPULO (Disabled People’s User-Led Organisation) charity dedicated to empowering disabled people, individuals with life‑affecting health conditions, and the carers and families who support them.
We are proudly user‑led, meaning that many of our trustees, staff and volunteers have lived experience of disability. This ensures our work is grounded in real understanding, compassion and insight, shaped directly by the people who use our services.
Our purpose is simple but powerful:
💙 To support people to live their best possible life with confidence, independence and dignity.
