About the Accessibles
The Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People’s (GMCDP’s) Young Disabled People Taking Action project started in January 2015 for young disabled people 18 - 30 and is funded by a legacy left by Kevin Hyett a founder member and treasurer of GMCDP who passed away in March 2004.
Kevin was passionate about young disabled people being involved in all aspects of GMCDP’s work so it is was agreed young disabled people within the Greater Manchester area would be given the opportunity to become involved and be an important part in taking the organisation forward.
