Disability Alliance, the National Centre for Independent Living (NCIL) and Radar have now unified to form 'Disability Rights UK'.
The new charity, Disability Rights UK will be led, run and controlled by disabled people, with disabled people making up at least three-quarters of its board members.
Disability Rights UK will focus on:
*promoting "meaningful" independent living for disabled people
*promoting disabled people's leadership and control
*breaking the link between disability and poverty
*campaigning for disability equality and human rights
The new organisation is based at 12 City Forum, 250 City Road, London, EC1V 8AF.
