When we talk about wellbeing, disabled people are often left out of the conversation.
At Mana, we believe everyone deserves a full and supported life.
​​​
We co-create wellbeing programmes with disabled people and caregivers to provide what's often missing: practical wellbeing tools, genuine community and support that works for real life.
We're not just offering activities; we're building a movement where everyone's wellbeing is valued.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has"
- Margaret Mead

We are driven by the stark reality that disabled individuals face significant challenges in achieving wellbeing.​
​
There are around 16 million disabled people in the UK, representing approximately 24% of the population. Disabled people are the largest minority group in the world.
However, disabled people have three times more unmet needs than non-disabled people and are more likely to experience health inequalities compared to the general population.
​
We want this to change.

Nothing about us without us?
At Mana, we believe in nothing without us at all.
