FAQ's

Can MDF provide advice or help to individual disabled people?

At MDF our job is to work for the voluntary and community groups that are of and for disabled people. By supporting them we help break down barriers for people, but we are not able to provide support for individual disabled people.

Individual disabled people who need information or help should approach – in the first instance – one of these local voluntary organisations. They have the experience and skills to help individuals. If these organisations are not able to help you, please then contact us and we can tell you about other organisations that may be able to help you.
