In a world increasingly focused on inclusivity, Shaw Trust is at the forefront with its Living Made Easy and Accessibility Services, dedicated to promoting accessibility and empowering people with disabilities.
Head of Health and Wellbeing at Shaw Trust, Caroline Callow, says, ‘At Shaw Trust, we believe every individual should have access to the resources they need to live and work as independently as possible. Through Living Made Easy and Accessibility Services, we aim to break down barriers, provide essential support, and create environments that empower people to do just that. It’s this commitment to inclusion and accessibility that drives our work and our ongoing sponsorship of the Disability Power 100 awards, celebrating the achievements and leadership of individuals with disabilities.’
Fostering Inclusion Within and Beyond Our Company
Shaw Trust’s Accessibility Services team doesn’t just work to advance inclusion—it lives it. Many team members bring invaluable lived experience of disability, allowing them to bring deeper understanding and empathy to their roles.
Caroline adds that, ‘Inclusion isn’t just a goal for Accessibility Services —it’s a core value woven into our culture. Many of the team within Accessibility Services, have lived experience of disability, which deepens our understanding and insight when supporting our clients to further develop and design their services. By supporting diversity within our workforce, we not only foster a richer work culture but also gain valuable perspectives that enhance our services.
Further to this, Living Made Easy offers the UK’s most extensive, impartial information on products and adaptive equipment that supports inclusivity in the work place, around education, as well as living within the community, enhancing independence and pace with recovery where applicable.’
Partnering with the Disability Power 100
Living Made Easy and Accessibility Services sponsorship of the Disability Power 100 is a significant extension of its commitment to celebrating and supporting the disabled community.
Caroline states, ‘Our sponsorship of the Disability Power 100 reflects our commitment to celebrating and empowering disabled people. These awards align perfectly with our mission, as they highlight both the importance of accessibility and the strength of inclusivity.
Sponsoring the Disability Power 100 is about more than an award—it’s about advancing a shared vision of inclusion and opportunity. At Living Made Easy and Accessibility Services, we’re committed to creating a society where everyone, regardless of ability, has the chance to thrive. As we continue our work, we’re excited about future partnerships, initiatives, and opportunities to support people of all abilities on their journey toward independence and fulfilment.
Congratulations to this year’s Disability Power 100 finalists. Your achievements remind us all of the power of resilience, innovation, and commitment to change.’
