Pathfinders combines lived experience, research, campaigning and practical innovation to improve the systems that shape disabled people’s lives. We work alongside disabled people, professionals, businesses and policymakers to identify unmet needs, challenge exclusion and develop better approaches across areas including social care, accessibility, healthcare, employment and independent living.

Our work is rooted in the belief that disabled people should not simply be consulted by systems, but involved in designing, testing and improving them. Through research, community leadership, partnerships and systems-change work, we aim to build fairer, more effective and more inclusive systems for disabled people with high support needs.
