Promoting Independence, Removing Barriers

Mission Statement:

Breakthrough UK's mission is to promote the rights, responsibilities and respect of disabled people.

Aims:

We have translated our Mission into a number of Strategic Aims, all of which are intended to ‘support disabled people to play a full, economically active role in society’:

Aim 1 - Working with individual disabled people to support them to be independent, to seek employment and develop their careers.

Aim 2 - Working with employers, providers and other agencies involved in the labour market to promote best practice in all aspects of recruitment, retention and progression.

Aim 3 - Tackling the barriers and discriminatory policies and practices which disadvantage disabled people in the economy, society and the labour market.

Aim 4 - Ensure our organisation demonstrates excellent practice through good governance, strong management and continuous improvement.

Aim 5 - To ensure BUK policy and operational activities are recognised as leading edge at local, national & international levels.

Aim 6 - To explore develop & promote the concept of Independent Living in a diverse cultural context.

More information on how these key aims will be delivered over the next five years are laid out in our Strategic Plan:
