Beyond Barriers CIC is a non profit and the sister organisation of Breaking Barriers Charity.
It exists to provide community solutions, tailored services and opportunities for disabled people.
People with impairments often face fewer opportunities than those without, due to a combination of physical, societal, and systemic barriers. These barriers can limit access to community involvement, education, employment, healthcare and social engagement, which many people without impairments might take for granted.
We provide entry level work experience aiming to upskill, give confidence, encourage independence, gain transferable skills and ultimately achieve an accredited qualification. Our welcoming and relaxed spaces will give both work and life skills, new connections to the community and friendships, practical hands on learning and the challenge of setting personal targets and goals, appropriate to the individual.
We also provide Short Breaks for families who would struggle to access other opportunities for a break together due to additional requirements, free of charge. With the right adaptations and planning, campervans can be customised to offer accessible and comfortable travel for everyone, allowing families to explore new places together without some of the constraints that come with traditional holiday accommodation.
Beyond Barriers supports and advocates for those who are pushing past the barriers they face, to live meaningful and connected lives.
