As previously mentioned, we are a branch of the PHAB club.  Here is some more information about PHAB as a national organisation.

The PHAB mission statement is:

“To promote and encourage people with and without physical disabilities to come together on equal terms, to achieve complete integration into the wider community”.

 

-Since 1957 when the first club was created, PHAB has supported a network of clubs across the UK run by members for the members.

-Each organises its own activities.

-PHAB is presided over by a board of patrons and vice presidents.  Among them are Rolf Harris, and Cliff Richard.

 

The objects and the aims of the PHAB organisation have remained the same for almost 50 years; they are probably more relevant today than at any time in its existence. The Charity's long-held philosophy of bringing together people with and without physical disabilities on equal terms bears remarkable similarity of aim to the new promotion of social inclusion.

Although much has been achieved for disabled people since the 'Year of the Disabled' in 1981, there is still a long way to go before full integration is achieved. Phab's aim is to ensure this happens.
