About the Directory of organisations/services

What this Directory does

The Directory has a searchable directory of local organisations, group, helplines and websites, some of which are local branches of national ones.

We also include the most useful national ones.

^Top

Higher priority will be given to

(in no particular order):

1. Organisations/groups based in Cambridgeshire (followed by national ones, then by international ones).

2. Voluntary/community organisations (followed by statutory then commercial/private ones).

3. Those organisations/services that have a primary focus on disability.

4. Those providing free-at-the-point-of-need services (followed by reduced cost to disabled/older people/carers and then full-cost services).

5. Those providing services to people at the highest levels of need especially in harder to reach areas and groups.

6. Those recommended by staff and volunteers of Disability Cambridgeshire and other partner organisations.

7. Those not already easily accessible in other directories or services or by Google-type searches.
