Last week, we launched the VODG Big Conversation, a major piece of commissioned research designed to better understand how we can further support organisations that work with disabled people to live full, independent lives.

More than thirty leading charities urge the Chancellor to use the Spring Budget to commit to children in care and care leavers.

One of the distinguishing features of VODG membership is the ways in which organisations share information and support one another.

This secure platform, available to members when signing into our website, offers an interactive space to ask questions, seek views and share perspectives.
