Who We Are
Difference is a campaigning and policy organisation representing disabled people across the North East. Our aim is to reduce discrimination, increase access and inclusion and work towards a more equal region. We are classed as a Deaf and Disabled Persons Organisation (DDPO) which means that we are run by the people that we intend to support.
