| About Kent Phab |
 |
|
Phab is a national charity that aims
to integrate people with and without physical or sensory disabilities,
within the community. Kent Phab, "People Have ABilities", is the local
part of the organisation that deals only with Kent. |
| Kent Phab runs many projects
which help promote inclusion of disabled people within the community such
as Togle, which links young people into mainstream
leisure, and KOB which makes young people aware of
disability issues and tries to breakdown prejudice, stereotyping and bullying. |

Kent Phab is run by professionals,
many of whom are volunteers. Our work and projects are funded entirely
by donation. We aim to assist not just those who have a disability, but
also society so that full inclusion can become a reality, and not just
a dream. We are proud to work with young people and adults from all backgrounds;
regardless of gender, race, religion or social standing. |
Kent Phab is not about donating wheelchairs, hearing aids
or materialistic things, we provide something of much more valuable; opportunities
for disabled people to live normal lives. General attitudes often tell
us that disabled people cannot do things and cannot get the same opportunities
as non-disabled people.
These false ideas are believed by many people, including
some disabled people. Many often do not take part in activities they could
do, as many believe that they could not fit in, and fear they may
be treated badly by others. Many are unaware of their own abilities and
talents which leads to lack of self-confidence.
The biggest problem faced by disabled people is the social
exclusion this leads to.
Kent Phab strives to help change these attitudes by informing the public
about disability issues, and by providing opportunities for everyone to
mix equally. |
