About Us

Through the contribution of our members, VODG forms part of a community of more than 145 values-based organisations that play a vital role in supporting more than a million disabled people to live full independent lives.

 Membership of VODG is open to registered charities and not-for-profit organisations that provide services to disabled people. 
Our members’ work is focused on enabling disabled people of all ages to live the lives they choose.

VODG believes that an ambitious, trusted and vibrant voluntary sector that works together plays a unique role in achieving this aim.

We work on behalf of members to influence the development of social care policy, build relationships with government and other key agencies, promote best practice and keep members up to date on matters that affect service delivery.

Our overarching aim is to ensure that VODG members, working in partnership with commissioners, people who use services and their families can provide progressive, high quality and sustainable services that uphold rights and meet the requirements of disabled people.
